[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]is eating fruit outside some kind of regional thing? I have never heard of this practice of taking a piece of fruit from the kitchen and going outside to eat it.[/quote]

It’s not a regional thing.  It’s a healthy thing.  Most normal and healthy people have a piece of fruit as a snack in between meals.  They don’t need fatty junk food like pizzas and bigmacs in between nutritious homemade meals.  People on this thread should try it.  [/quote]

I like how the world is fruit vs. Big Macs to you. Like there's no middle ground?

My go-to snacks (and I don't snack every day) are fruit and a small piece of cheese (GASP!) or hummus with carrots or pita chips (OMG!!!!!)[/quote]

I'm sure you would survive if all you had was a banana or an apple as a snack.  If you want to clean up pita chip crumbs and wash off plates and utensils after your little snack in your own home, feel free to do so.  But do not assume that your hosts want to deal with crumbs and dirty dishes in their kitchens.

Grab a piece of fruit, go outside and eat it.[/quote]

WHY DO THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE? There are no crumbs from apples. Bananas aren't shooting juice across your freshly mopped floor. Unless you are offering up pomegranates or grapefruits, I fail to see any mess that a grown, human person could make with a piece of fruit. [/quote]

There are a few reasons.  First, fruit, once it is bitten into, is sticky and I prefer that it not be laid down somewhere "for just a sec" inside the house.  Second, not all people are neat eaters and some can and do make messes when they eat anything.  Third, I prefer that my guests dispose of their cores and peels properly - all but citrus peels go in the compost bin, citrus peels into the dumpster.  I can't stand the way banana peels in particular smell and I do not want them in my kitchen trashcan attracting ants.[/quote]
