Like Stonyfield's Banilla yogurt. I do half at a time too. Bananas, peaches, apples and berries are the only fruits I eat usually and always with a fat. I doubt I have 7 potatoes and bananas put together a week. Thats with no pasta, rice, bread or sugar. Wanita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, the vast majority of humans evolved without access to either, so they can hardly be regarded as essential. That said, for people who have absolutely no blood sugar issue, a moderate consumption of bananas is probably just fine. I'm less sure about potatoes. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 -If I'm in a big hurry I grab a dried apricot and a bit of butter to eat in one or two slowly chewed yummy bites. This is so delicious I want it to last and last. It's as close to candy as I will get. I have even eated butter with a plain banana. As you can tell I love butter and fruit! I think friut with butter tastes better than fruit alone. If it isn't butter with fruit than it is yogurt of kefir shake or cream. What could be better?
