The results of such efforts could be vexing. The Lord accepted Abel's offering of sheep but mysteriously rejected Cain's fruit of the ground, and Cain, according to Genesis 4: 5, "was very wroth...
...turning point in Roach's life. One car had sideswiped another on the road out front of his gas station and fruit stand, and before the cars could come to a stop, Roach was flattened.

Prices for fresh fruit will increase, but the cost of orange juice to U.S. consumers is not likely to rise much. Reason: most of it is made from concentrate imported from Brazil.
