Bananas and apples

I just read on an informative website about bananas: "So even though the banana has a phallic shape, it is a sterile and mutant fruit that has not had sex for 10,000 years."

I was thinking today, how amazing is it that my diet has been about 50% apples lately (by calories, which I don't count so the number is made up), yet I don't turn into an apple? I could eat all apples, and I would still be a human, with not even apple skin or a little stem or seeds sticking out of me somewhere. The body is truly amazing! You even give it sawdust McDonald's hamburgers and you get lumpy and greasy, but stay essentially the same person. And you fast, and it takes at least a few months before you stop existing. Wow.

Today, my diet was almost all apples, plus soup and some veggies. I didn't like the main dish at this conference and I LOVE free apples. I'll probably switch fruits when NY runs out of the stored ones, at the end of the spring. Then I'll have to wait for berries. Which are even better! And so fun to collect. Summer will be fun.
