Not anymore. Oranges only turn "orange" if the temperature is right. In some countries where the temperatures never cool off, oranges remain green, even when mature. It is the cool temperatures which promote the release of the orange pigments (carotenes). Before being sold in the U.S., green oranges used to be coated with an orange dye to make them more attractive to consumers. This practice is no longer acceptable by the FDA. To overcome this problem, oranges are now often treated with ethylene, which promotes the development of a uniformly "orange" appearance. This removes the chlorophyll layer and allows the orange color to emerge.

There isn't an equality as the phrase is an inequality. Mathematically, it would be written: oranges_sold > 25
Yes they did eat and one of the things that was sold was oranges. Ladies with baskets of oranges sold them on the floor of the theater which was made up of men. It was quite rowdy and stinky as well.
