    The orange juice coming from the US has been unpalatable for the last decade or so. They’ve all turned into generic standard artificially recomposed but still marketed as 100% orange juice. They used to taste different depending on the seasons and now they’re all the same across the board. Instead, I just eat fruits and water. Plus, orange juice is high in sugar - so it’s not as healthy as people think.

      Actually never realized it could taste different in different seasons since I mostly just used concentrate if it bothered with OJ. I’d say I should try more but I already consume more calories than needed anyways so I think my only Florida enjoyment will be when I watch Golden Girls.

      Also aren’t most fruit juices high in sugar these days? Least anything you buy in a bottle.

      Not that fruit is bad but drinking what would take pounds of fruit to make a glass (I don’t know exact amounts) does come with some some calories via sugar / carbs. An orange sliced up is probably pretty good overall still, but I’m not a nutritionist.
