Freshly squeezed is an overstatement.  My sister works in an orange juice
plant in the lab.  She used to make up and send out the samples of different
mixes to companies.  She told me all about it.  They mix fruit oils, green
fruit juice, ripe fruit juice and even other fruits or oils into a
combination that produces certain tastes.  Anyway, I agree with you about
folks not appreciating what is at hand.

Foodophile!  I love it.
