That is horrible! I can’t believe someone would think to try and flavor an apple to taste like a grape…why not just eat grapes?!
That is pretty freaky. I wonder if it had high fructose corn syrup in it too. They put that in everything now a days. I heard about the medical community experimenting with putting innoculations on apples to give to large groups of people so needles don’t have to be used and fewer nurses are necessary.
i to have tried a grapple. not what i expected and have never ever eaten one again, but must add they do smell so pretty!
I saw that in the store. My mom bought them, but I didn’t even want to touch it…the idea of that is so unnatural. It kind of freaked me out.
On their web site I found this article:
USDA Grants help provide schools with Grāpple® brand apples! USDA Grants help provide schools with Grāpple® brand apples! Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program a huge hit!
“I ate it all, even the core!” boasted Peter Twist. “We are so lucky,” said Jan Holt, Director of Child Nutrition Programs at Camp Lejeune. “Yes, more labor is involved, yes, it’s more costly, but it’s so beneficial for the students. It’s worth every second.” Grāpple® brand apples are just one of the popular choices being served at some of our nation’s schools.
It seems the federal govt has provided grants to Grapple and that they are peddeling this junk to schools. Talk about pushing drugs on kids.
That reminds me of a book that I think everyone should read. Fast food nation by Eric Schlosser.
Sure glad I won’t let my son buy school lunches!
When I grow up and have kids, their going to be homeschooled…seriously this is crazy what the government is doing….Or I’ll create a raw vegan school or something. We should be able to eat fresh organic fruit and vegetables not this junk they inject with artificle coloring and flavor.
