All fruit is better eaten as grown since you get the fiber that way. Juices are evil, I tell you. This trend toward juicing everything, even veggies, is just another way of being lazy about our diets and not having to actually cook. I was amazed to find that the local chain supermarket has “juicing greens”. Ugh.

If you juice the whole raw veggie and drink it all - are you essentially just saving yourself the chewing work?

Cooking gets into a whole new ballgame - chemical conversion and so forth.

I found _Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation_ by Michael Pollan an interesting read on the subject.
