[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for the 'fruit as dessert people' - do you guys not have fruit unless it's dessert?  My kids love it; I add it to almost every meal at home.  Apple, orange, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, mangoes are consumed throughout the day and also goes into the lunchbox.  I might stick a handful of blueberries on the salad I'm trying to get them to eat.  Do your kids really accept fruit as different enough to qualify as dessert?  Why do you eat so little fruit?  Or, when you say fruit, do you mean something more special than an apple or orange? [/quote]

They don't eat "so little fruit." They just don't want to eat a real dessert very often.

I like fruit, but it's hardly dessert. If someone served me fruit as dessert (unless it was part of a pastry or ice cream), I'd feel ripped off.[/quote]
We might be saying the same thing?  I'm not sure what your point is.  My point is that some posters are saying they serve fruit for dessert.  If that is true, what makes the fruit so special, is it because they don't serve it at other times?  If I served an orange for dessert, my kid would say he already had one for lunch.  He might still eat it, but would not consider it a dessert or anything special at all.[/quote]
