How to buy the perfect piece of fruit in Uganda Africa
Look for firm, crisp, well-colored apples. They
may have a shriveled appearance after being held in storage. Avoid overripe
apples, they yield to slight pressure on the skin, and have soft, mealy flesh.
Grapefruit
Look for firm fruits, which are heavy for their
size. Thin-skinned fruits have more juice than coarse-skinned ones. If a
grapefruit is pointed at the stem end, it is likely to be thick-skinned. Rough,
ridged, or wrinkled skin can also be an indication of thick skin, pulpiness,
and lack of juice.
Kiwifruit
Avoid kiwi that show signs of shriveling, mold,
or excessive softening, all of which indicate spoilage. Look for plump,
unwrinkled fruit, either firm or slightly yielding. Kiwifruit is fully ripe
when it is yielding to the touch but not soft. Firm kiwifruit can be ripened at
home in a few days by leaving it at room temperature.
Lemons
Look for lemons with a rich yellow color,
reasonably smooth-textured skin with a slight gloss, and those, which are firm
and heavy. A pale or greenish-yellow color indicates very fresh fruit with
slightly higher acidity. Coarse or rough skin texture is a sign of thick skin
and not much flesh.
Cantaloupes
A cantaloupe might be mature, but not ripe. A
ripe cantaloupe will have a yellowish cast to the rind, a pleasant aroma, and
yield slightly to light thumb pressure on the blossom end of the melon.
Cantaloupes
Watermelons
Judging the quality of a watermelon is very
difficult unless it is cut in half or quartered. The watermelon surface should
be relatively smooth. The ends of the melon should be filled out and rounded;
and the underside of the melon should have a yellowish color and slightly flat.
A flat underside usually means the watermelon ripped on the ground instead of
in transit to the store.

Survival of the Fattest Meaning The copper statue Survival of the Fattest by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar was created in 2002. The fat woman is holding a pair of scales as a symbol of justice however; she is
closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious
injustice. For the rich people of the world the main issue in life is that of overeating while people in the third world are dying every day from
hunger. The misery of imbalanced wealth distribution is creating floods of refugees. However the rich only want to preserve their privileges and take measures so harsh against the poor, they betray their morals …
