camouflaged and promoted by ads;

eat grapes not raisins, whole peanut not paste,
not ketsup but fresh tomatoes.

whole orange, not powdered instant drink,
whole mango, not dessicated or jellied. 

fresh nangka, not preserved, not dried, 
whole guyabano, slice and serve.

guava picked from the tree, firm, aromatic;
sampaloc pods, not jam or sweet.  

Freshness has no substitute, even with all
technologies and advertisements. ~
