I completely agree!! The effort put into an orange is not worth the reward. To eat an orange requires using a knife or getting orange rind in your fingernails. Both strategies are much less appealing compared to the orange's easier to eat cousins such as the apple, pear, and banana. Each of these fruits only require the quick wash and subsequent napkin or the quick peel.

What society truly needs is for the orange to evolve/change at an incredibly fast rate. The new orange would be as easily edible as an apple (or banana) but still have all the great qualities of an orange. The people who brought us seedless watermelons, this is your new mission. Go out there make something of yourselves!
