Rachael Hilliker of Owosso was indignant — “outraged,” actually — to discover over the weekend that an area cider mill was using perfectly good apples as projectiles in a target-practice game.
Couldn’t they be better used, she wondered, by a local food bank? Wouldn’t a better target be hunger?
She wrote: “At the ‘Fruit Fling,’ people were lined up to slingshot apples at various targets. I thought to myself ‘Those better be rotten apples,’ but the ammo, she said, was perfectly edible.
So, is an apple grower within his rights (cosmically, not legally) to squander part of his crop with fun and games, or, by doing so, is he guilty of some sort of moral turpitude?
Your thoughts, please …
