vanishes, unlike man-made packaging which presents disposal
difficulties. 9) The material of the packaging designed by '? ??is

aking this idea even further, one may ask: Why is the
potato so drably colored? This, in fact, gives even
greater depth to '?’??s world of fruits and vegetables. Just

as the ready-to-eat fruits are brightly colored in order to
encourage eaters to eat and enjoy them, so too, the
not-ready-to-eat

fruits

do

not

have

attractive colors. The potato, onion, and
cabbage do not tempt us to eat them and
suffer the consequences with stomach
cramps. The plain appearance of these
vegetables teaches and trains us to have
patience as they cause us to wait longer in order for them to be
prepared and fit to eat.

B

ut wait: the watermelon is not brightlycolored although it is ready to eat?!
Only the ready-to-eat fruits that are

“one-person” sized are colored brightly. However,
the big fruits, such as the watermelon, cantaloupe,
and pineapple, although delicious and ready-toeat, do no tempt us to eat them
immediately since then the rest of the
fruit would go to waste! These large fruit
are intended for large groups of people,
therefore, their plain colors urges our patience until there is a
large enough group to eat the entire fruit.
