Nature didn't do shit.
Sure, maybe the original mandarins, pomelos, citrons, papedas, and possibly kumquats (there's also Buddha's hand, but we don't talk about Buddha's hand) were sort of pre-sliced, to help with seed dispersal, but like with practically every fruit and vegetable we eat we took that small, dry, bitter crap and started selecting for larger, juicier, tastier, and easier to eat.
And then we went, nah, that ain't it yet... and we started grafting (because apparently plants are kind of ok with us playing Frankenstein with them while they're still alive, or at least we can't hear them complain, and probably wouldn't care if we could).
We made oranges, and most of the citruses we eat.
Why do oranges come pre-sliced..? Because we made it so.
Hear hear!

PSA: "GMO" is a bullshit term to distract the masses. FFS, everything is GMO, citizens. ๐ (No, but seriously. It's the core concept of agriculture itself.)
Also, read more. Always. ๐ค
