I have seen fruit eaters question whether a piece of fruit is perfectly ripe or rotten. This guessing game between food and waste makes me sick.

Fear of fruit

I lost my banana virginity at 28.

Up until that point I had managed my entire life by not just avoiding bananas but all fruit. I'm 34 now and I still can't tell you what a "good" pear tastes like or how to get to the inside of a pineapple. I've never had strawberry pie.

I realize this fruit hang-up is weird; I also know it’s a privilege to avoid fruit or any food. But don’t worry I’m not here to unpack that aspect of my relationship with food. No I’m here to admit that I might enjoy being afraid of fruit as much as I enjoy being afraid of it.
