I hear ya. Cocoa Puffs, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Lucky Charms. I loved that ****. Actually, I still think it tastes good, but I just never buy it anymore. I really like Rice Crispies now, so I guess I'm still a kid, though.

I loved the thing but I go SO sick after supper. (I won't elaborate on that). Well, my mom said, "Maybe you had too much fruit today." I was like "Huh? Too much fruit? Is that possible?" I felt HORRIBLE that day, and we never figured out why. I have not had a fruit and walnut salad since. That sucks because it was really good. Does any of this make sense to any of y'all?

I guess it's possible to eat too much fruit in one day -- I mean, it's possible to drink too much water, too. Remember the girl in the nightclub who died?

But there's no way that a banana, an apple & a fruit/walnut salad constitute "too much fruit." You ain't even close to too much fruit.

I mean, we're talking maybe FOURTEEN watermelons, three bunches of bananas, twenty-five navel oranges, sixteen papayas, thirty cups of blueberries, etc. THAT would be too much for most people.

Yeah, I would think that too much fruit would mean more fruit than I ate. No telling what my deal was that day. Maybe it was the McDonald's fries just because they're so incredibly unhealthy? When I was a kid I ate them all the time but I rarely eat them now...so maybe my body was not happy that I started eating them again. I can't believe I'm talking about this on the internet so I should probably stop.

I don't think I heard about the girl at the nightclub, but I do remember a news story about some guy who was going through hazing for some fraternity and the frat boys made him drink several gallons of water at once and he died. That was the first time it was ever brought to my attention that one could drink too much water. I do only a couple of 16 oz. bottles a day, but then I'm not going through some insane hazing process.
