robert Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 http://www.dole5aday.com/Grownups/Fun/G_DidYouKnow.jsp?topmenu=3 Sure it's from Dole, but it looks pretty cool. Nice little facts and tidbits. I think Brendan and I eat 33lbs of Bananas in a week (case in point we got 8 lbs yesterday and that will last about 48 hours. The average American eats 33lbs of bananas a year making it the most popular fruit in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontanaVegan Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 fruits: fast food for healthy people. =)I like that, I've never heard it before. I eat about 3 bananas per day when I can buy them ripe.Lately all we've had are very green bananas, I don't like them very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andesuma Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I can only consume about 3 bananas a day, or it seems to make me feelsluggish/not good. Apples on the other hand.I think I average at about 6 a day... I think my main source of caloriescomes from apples..hahI am really trying to have some variety, but nothing makes me feelthe way an apple does. The are neutrally sweet and crisp, very refreshing.

Zack Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I probably go through 15-20 pounds of bananas per week easy.... Also, probably that same weight of oranges... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Yeah, I hear ya. We can't keep enough bananas in the house. Pounds and pounds bought every few days. I'm also eating a lot of oranges these days too and lots of apples. I just sliced up about 6 of them and put them in a little baggy to take with me when I'm in the car. It's a fun little chart with nutrition highlights so I thought it would be cool to share it here. Now go out and eat your fruits and veggies!

Patrick Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 How about raw beets as a tasty snack. Makes everything red. My co-workers think I am absolutely insane for eating them raw. I Love 'em. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Don't worry...soon I'll be on the west coast and I'll only cause a problem for all the US/Canadian citizens that get bananas shipped through the Pacific...the Atlantic folk should be just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
