That's cool. I think fruit is beautiful too. I guess nature intends it to be, on some level. The tree's nature or our nature or some combination of the two.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Entirely depends on how a plant's reproductive plan has evolved.

Fruit designed to be fertilized and planted by being eaten would benefit from looking appealing to animals. Fruit designed to preserve the seeds so that they may germinate on their own would benefit from looking ugly and tasting nasty.
I cite irreconcilable differences.
