There's a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says "not from concentrate," it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen was removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called "flavor packs." Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate!

Ummm.... Yuk?
Juice companies therefore hire flavor and fragrance companies, the same ones that formulate perfumes for Dior and Calvin Klein, to engineer flavor packs to add back to the juice to make it taste fresh. Flavor packs aren't listed as an ingredient on the label because technically they are derived from orange essence and oil. Yet those in the industry will tell you that the flavor packs, whether made for reconstituted or pasteurized orange juice, resemble nothing found in nature. The packs added to juice earmarked for the North American market tend to contain high amounts of ethyl butyrate, a chemical in the fragrance of fresh squeezed orange juice that, juice companies have discovered, Americans favor."

Simply disgusting, what does this mean?
It means globalism is always a disgusting path because the best fresh quality will always come from a decentralized free market economy
It's so sad too, I love "simply orange"
I guess I have to not buy it anymore, unless perhaps during specific monthsedit on 30-7-2011 by ModernAcademia because: (no reason given)

EVEN MORE what?
If regulations are so good how has this been happening for so long?
How come aspartame is still in the market?
I don't get such arguments like yours, you paint a silly picture as if what you have today, mass regulations, actually works.
Firstly a decentralized economy would not follow this process, the more decentralized the less assembly line work because of the decrease in customers.
decentralized means no assembly line and therefore a better product with way more jobs for the people because it's not one big corp. handling it it's many small businesses in many cities.
Regulations is the worst thing that can happen to the consumer, because regulations means cronyism!
Because they put cronies in regulatory positions after lobbying.
Time to wake up America!
