You know, I agree with Buttermilk on this one. If a fruit cannot create life of its own, it probably will not create life in my body. Crossing unrelated fruits creates a sterile seed. That's not natural. Fruits are designed to fall into the ground a spring up as a tree - with fruit of its own. Those fruits will fall and spring up a new trees. Sterile seeds can't do that. They are lifeless.

Lifeless.

Don't think I want that in my bod'.

For the record, I saw a stranger cross than that at my former employer's (a health food store.) A honeydew melon nectarine. Those two aren't even in the same family! At least plums and apricots are biologically related to eachother. Vines and trees aren't.
