Apples to Apples

I have been apple picking once, but I never thought about what went into actually making or engineering apples. Cornell continues to amaze me with what they can do with food. An apple designed for children’s lunches may seem small, but it is actually a revolutionary idea to me. I wish I could have tried the Ruby Frost or the snapdragon, that Cornell invented. Apples are a tasty treat, but they are also money. I did not realize how much went into the apples that I eat. I truly enjoyed apple fest. The day was a perfectly crisp fall day filled with good food and better friends. It felt as if the entire Cornell community was together off of campus, all together enjoying a fun event. I will never just eat an apple again, without first wondering where it came from and how it came into being, but I will definitely eat more apples.
