Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask?

  Disagree, I was able to find the local grocery store’s store branded 100% fruit juice in cranberry, apple, grape, and pomegranate. It’s just a regular grocery store too.

  They even had the welch’s 100% juice varieties.

  Now that being said I had to pay real close attention to the labels to select the right juice, but the good stuff is still out there

    For myself, it depends on where I look and what store I’m in. Sometimes the international section can get me soursop juice. Locally owned stores have a better chance of variety.

  Apple and grape are the same

    They are, however, made of the fruit they’re named after with little sugar added. That 8oz is about half a pound, and half a pound of grapes is calorically comparable

    We’ve cultivated tree candy, and I can’t see it any other way.

    Grape juice and apple juice naturally have that much sugar, even if there’s none added.

    I have an apple tree at home and I’ve tried to make apple juice. It’s absulte rancid if you don’t add tons of sugar. Clearly there’s better kinds of apples for this, but those are also more expensive. So for the stakeholder’s sake, lets add some sugar to the cheap apples and make more profit.

  Curiously, where I am, apple juice is so easy to come by that other juices are diluted with apple juice.

  Maybe true in USA, not true here

    It’s only true in the U.S. if you live in a food desert or somewhere rural with a single walmart. Which admittedly is a problem here.

    But if you live anywhere with healthier stores like Sprouts and Whole Foods, you will find plenty of juice.

    Even my regular local regular supermarket carries various juices.

      Ah yeah makes sense, I think a difference between here and USA is we have no such thing as a good desert

    What’s not true there?

    • wieson@feddit.org ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That 100% juices other than grape and apple are hard to find.
