Question

Our school gives us apples with our lunch and I wanted to know if it was legal for them to feed us polished apples, I got scissors and scratched a fairly thick layer of wax of the apple without penetrating the apple skin. Now I know it's not healthy to consume wax so I wanted to know if there was anything I could do about it

Answer

The notion that the wax is harmful to consume is a myth.
