I think the point is if he makes his pies with the revivified fruit, it will never go bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

hee!
Bringing a fruit back from rotten implies that it dies sometime after it comes off the tree
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.

I thought this was because of the one minute rule. He didn't re-dead the fruit, so something in proximity has to die.
