This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
The notion that Ned won't be able to eat any of his scrumptious-looking pies he make is almost as sad as his not being able to touch Digby and Chuck.
Chuck could just make his pies!
But yeah...
But isn't all picked fruit dead, even if it's not rotten? I mean, once it's off the tree, what's keeping it alive?
This. Bringing a fruit back from rotten implies that it dies sometime after it comes off the tree.
And by that theory, what does he eat? I could foresee meat being a problem, if everything that was ever dead ever comes back to life when he touches it.
eta: Juliebird! Weird meat x-post!
I'm thinking Ned's meals are all heavily seasoned with handwavium.
I think the point is if he makes his pies with the revivified fruit, it will never go bad.
I thought they said in the first episode that his touch made the fruit taste just picked. I wonder if he could eat his own pies with a fork or if the fruit would immediately turn bad in his mouth.
I rewatched "Girth" and "Pigeon" last night, and had a total LOL moment when I realized that the wooden hand/arm that Ned uses this week to scratch Digby is the arm he ripped off of Lefty last week! Bwah - missed that connection the first time through.
I'm loving this show. So fun.
I'm figuring that once the meat's been cut into pieces and processed, it's gonna be difficult for Ned to bring it back to life. I mean, a piece of steak won't turn into a whole cow at his mouth when he chews it, I don't think.
On the other hand, he probably won't be able to eat a... cricket, or something. Or maybe he can. Second chew kills it forever, etc.
I am having wee bit more difficulties handwaving this than the horse shooting flames from its mouth or an one-legged girl living inside a windmill, however.
As far as eating fruit he hasn't touched before, as long as he swallows it within a minute of touching it he should be okay. However any nearby fruit trees should certainly worry.
I wonder if there's a circle around the pie shop in which fruit immediately rots.

Didn't they show a bunch of daisies dying in one episode when he was reviving fruit?

hee!

I think it would be safe to guess that it's not until the fruit starts showing visible signs of death that it counts as dead, and therefore suspect to the one-touch, no-touch'm-again-or-ick-for-Ned.
that his touch made the fruit taste just picked
I think that was referring to Ned's reviving the moldy strawberry.
edited for misplaced sentence.
