I'm a fruitarian

BTW when was the last time anyone bought a good fresh peach.   Even when they are in season all Ican find are the hard ones that I suppose are easier to ship, but they just don't taste like peaches used too.  last year I bought some peaches that swiveled up like apples instead of going soft and rotting like real peaches.  Even the roadside stands don't seem to have good peaches.  I guess the hard ones are all they grow now.

My favorite fruit is dark sweet cherries.  when I was a kid we used to go on vacation every year to Canada.  They grew cherries there and they were really cheap.  Since it was vacation my parents would let me eat nothing but cherries for a meal if that is what I wanted.  I would eat so many I would have diarrhea that was the color of cherries.

  Cherries this year have been tasteless.  I found out the hard way about cherries when I ate an entire bag of dried ones.  Had no idea of the consequences of that.  We are talking horrible gas pains, and I swear 30 second farts.
