Food Maker: Honey Crisp Apples


I'd recently re-discovered the Honey Crisp apple thru the link below posted via FB.  Otherwise, I was not one to purposefully shop for the Honey Crisp.  I preferred FUJI (IMO, the perfect cross between Red Delicious  & Ralls Janet apples); followed by the Red Delicious.

 After reading the articles and tasting them anew, the Honey Crisp is now my choice #2 among apples. I've also come to find out that it's the favorite of my oldest son and 3rd-born daughter.

IMO, the must-have basic survival needs of all humans are: Water, Food, Shelter, Clothing.  Of these four, what would be do-able and will result in the most good for the vast majority of people on Earth, is the development or Food and/or new food sources.  It will bring the most bang for the buck.  It is an opportunity waiting to happen for anyone out there who may be ambitious of praise and fame and fortune.

Here's one fellow who did just that. Years of research and work brought about the Honey Crisp Apple.  He's also a Wheaton College graduate (David Bedford, Class of '73)! Click on links for full articles.

Apples are mentioned in the Bible. We all know how sensitive our eyes are. God is as "sensitive" as an eye to the treatment of others towards His people (the Jews).  They are a chosen group that God has used to convey the message of eternal Salvation in the PERFECT Jew -- the Lord Jesus Christ.
