The Fruit of All Evil

Over in The Corner, John Derbyshire linked to the following video, which claims that the structure of the banana is evidence of intelligent design. This prompted the following reply from one of his readers:

Derb---That video convinced me. The banana is obviously God's handiwork. But what about the orange? I can never peel those damn things without all the tough white part remaining. And the apple is OK, but the skin invariably gets wedged between my teeth. Are these lesser fruits God's discarded banana prototypes or perhaps the work of the Devil?"

His correspondant is obviously wrong. These are neither lesser fruits or the work of the Devil. It is obvious that the difficulties encountered in eating these and other fruits prove that man was not designed to eat these fruits. It follows that consuming these fruits is contrary to the will of God and thus a sin. Furthermore, the degree sinfulness in eating a particular fruit can be discerned from the relative difficulty of eating the fruit. For instance, getting apple peel stuck between your teeth is a minor inconvenience and thus merely a venial sin. The extreme difficulties encountered in preparing an orange for consumption indicate that eating an orange rises to the level of a mortal sin. As I rather enjoy eating oranges and have not received absolution for this, I can only conclude that I'm going to Hell for indulging in this most grievous sin of the flesh.
