Listening to talk radio while on a sans-kids shopping trip, I heard this on an otherwise informative feature about nutrition:

Evolution designed apples to be very nutritious…. it was a very sophisticated Darwinian process.

I’m amazed that anyone can say this, especially someone who is intelligent enough to make some good observations about our eating habits. I don’t read newspapers or watch much cable TV, so maybe I’m behind the times. Could someone email me and let me know when Evolution stopped being a natural , impersonal process and become a transcendental being capable of forethought & design?

(Sorry, I didn’t get the nutritionists’ name… if I find out who is to blame for this quote, I’ll edit this post.)
