According to this doctrine [of total depravity], man in his present condition since the fall is so polluted with a principle of evil that every aspect of his being and personality is affected by it. The term depravity refers to the moral disposition or inclination of fallen man’s nature toward evil and against good. This principle of sin and moral pollution is such that man is by nature opposed to what is true and righteous. The inclination of his heart, the delight of his soul, the orientation of his will is toward wickedness. Nothing compels him to sin. He sins because he loves it. He revels in it. He has no taste for God, but relishes evil and pursues it with voluntary zeal.

1999: Del Monte introduced canned fruit with spice and other flavors.
These new products essentially work as two ingredients in one.
  IDEAS:
* SORBET - freeze two cans of Harvest Spiced Peaches; run cans under
warm water until fruit slips out. Dice fruit and blend in a food
processor. Serve immediately or return to the freezer and scooped
into dessert glasses later.
* SMOOTHY - blend Raspberry Flavored Peaches with some of the syrup
and vanilla frozen yogurt
* PUREED FRUIT - To cut some of the fat from muffins and to add
flavor, puree Almond Flavored Apricot Halves and substitute the
pureed fruit for some of the fat (up to 75%), or for the amount of
liquid called for in a recipe or on a package mix.
GENERAL ADVICE (from Prevention's archives): Experiment. You can
reduce fat in baked goods by using pureed fruit in place of fat. When
modifying a recipe, make changes gradually so that you keep the taste
as you make the recipe more healthful. If your recipe calls for a cup
of fat--start by substituting pureed fruit for one fourth the fat--if
you like the taste, next time substitute a little more.
