I have a perfect reason, Nilly--you're there.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They're just not substitutes for each other.
Why can't fruit sub for veg? The sugar? Aren't they both basically vitamin delivery systems?

Lee, I already have an Israeli friend with your first name (though her cat's name is neither Perkins nor Ozzie) - think of how fun it would be to meet you up! Clearly, you have to come to make this happen.
Now Robin makes me blush.
(And I had such a good reason for you, too, what with your BF's history in the area and all.)

But no reason to post this twice.

fruit is as good for you as veggies
not so much the same thing. and all fruits are not equal in good for, just as all veggies aren't. On the whole fruits have a bunch more sugar.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is a very good reason, Nilly, though I think Robin's is better.

Well, sure. I don't tend to eat much fruit, and I haven't gotten scury yet.

someone get Jesse a nutrition book stat. On every get healthy food guide I've read, non-starch veggies can be eaten in unlimited quantities, but fruits are always limited to 2-4 servings a day.
Specifically the nutrients in greens are always stressed as importante.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Leafy greens, my mother is yelling. But she doesn't know why, and I hope she's not startling the help.
Msbelle's right about the sugar. And just as different fruits deliver different nutrients, vegetables are working different stuff from fruit. Dietary fibre, iron, calcium, folic acid, and all that jazz.

It's extra pathetic that I know all that stuff and don't do it, isn't it? I've got no excuse but my taste buds. And lack of discipline.
