I love fruit, especially summer fruit. Berries, cherries, peaches...all of it. Of course, I am so limited in what I can eat, but I still love the idea of someday, indiscriminately eating fruit again!! lol  

I just can't do it. I don't eat ice cream, either. Is that crazy or what? 

Funny!! I used to love fruit. Now I know how it hurts my blood sugar so it is off limits. Now I don't miss it at all. My favorite food is beef. I tried to do no meats, but that did not work. I've even looked into the carnivore diet. Very interesting.. I think I could do that, but haven't tried it yet. You are the greatest Phil.. 

Ha, funny pic! I loved fruit as a kid, but lost the taste for it as an adult. I am working it in, and now i like it when i eat it, but i have to constantly remind myself. I always think i am not in the mood bc it is too sweet, but funny how i never thought that about doughnuts! 

I get apples pretty often, occasionally bananas, but that's about it. Fresh blackberries are OK but I hate getting chiggers. 

Not liking fruit is not as much a problem as not liking vegetables, in my opinion. 

the only fresh fruit I get is my lemon wedge in my water  

Nothing wrong, I don't like seafood, meats and I love fruits . You have to eat what you like  

I don't like pizza, but I love strawberry ice cream, frosting cakes ,etc  

Fruit is cloyingly sweet, like the fructose has a more concentrated sweetness than sucrose. I can do without either. 

Phil, you may want the less ripe versions of the fruit. Prefer bananas when they're closer to green as the sugar hasn't fully formed (as when they're starting to brown a bit). I like eating fruit simply because I try to eat the rainbow and there are few blue veggies! (Are there any other than eggplant?)  

I like friut but I don't like pork or beef. Some people in my family (my uncle raised hogs) think it's a sin not to eat bacon. Feathers or fins on my plate please. 

@socalpam, i am similar to you. Purple cabbage is kinda blue, and now they have purple cauliflower and carrots too! 

Nope, if u don’t like it u don’t have to eat it 👌🏼 

U don’t like Ice cream 😱 do u like any sweets ? 🤔 

Don’t like bananas or tomatoes. So what?😂 

Good ole Bush! 😂 I love fruits in season, Grandpa had peach trees, Apple trees, strawberry fields, raspberry bushes galore, Summer was the best time of year we never went by the fruits leaving them untouched. Always had stained hands.. If you don't like em it's ok.. everyone is entitled to his own taste! You can get a form of vitamins via else where. 

bluefont we are on same page, I rarely eat red meat and never ever touch swine, we have a saying about beef red meat, there is a disease in the meat and cure in its fat.. means the fat is good but too much beef can be bad.  

I like the idea of fruit, it's the execution where I fail. 😂I like chocolate and caramel, pastries, cakes, cookies, and pies, but hard candies and stuff like that, nah. lol 

No it’s not ok!!! Lol when my kids try to wriggle out of eating their fruits and veggies I tell ’em they are gonna get scurvy!! But I guess you are old enough to know better 😜😜😜
