It looks like an orange....but

 

I bought a bag of California navel oranges at Aldi's on Wednesday.  They looked just like this photo...picture perfect.  I went to eat my first one yesterday.  The peel was about 1/2 inch thick revealing an oddly shaped small oblong fruit inside.  The fruit had little juice and little taste. Very bizarre. Today, others in the bag have already started discoloring.

I don't know if GMO is real or not, but this food is not real.  Another benefit of having lived as long as I have is that I remember clearly what food was like.  I know that the food that I grow tastes right.  I have been unsuccessful growing oranges so far.   I harvested my first grapefruit this year.  It was small but tasted wonderful. 

I never buy strawberries or watermelon from the store...oranges now are added to that list.
