Except, juicing seems to be a hobby in itself, someone thinks it's a great
idea nutritionally, runs out and buys an expensive juicer, and then
proceeds to turn everything in sight into juice. They've been somehow
convinced that juice is better than the original product, so they turn it
into juice.

Yes, there may be reasons why a specific person needs things turned into
a liquid. But there seems to be a whole lot more people who think juicing
is good in itself, and that's where the "what's the point?" questions
come in.
