AIBU?

To think two oranges after dinner is too much sugar

They are pretty large navel oranges, two of them (whole not juiced) is probably half your daily sugar allowance so probably not a good idea to eat two after a evening dinner?

What - you begrudge someone eating two oranges? Hmm

Are you for real?

We had raw cookie dough after our dinner, that was probably too much sugar Grin.

My three year old ate two Go Aheads after tea today. She tricked us. She asked me for one, scarfed it then asked her dad for one and pretended it was her first.

I wish she’d eat two oranges.

Erm ... No. They're oranges. They're fruit, they're good for you, part of your 5 a day and all that jazz. Ok they have sugar in them but sugar isn't the devil and it's better to have it in orange form than ben and jerrys form. Some people, like me when I'm eating healthy, 'need' something sweet after a meal and try to supress that need with yogurt/fruit. Having 2 oranges after dinner is perfectly normal, and healthy

Is this a joke? I hope so, because otherwise this is sad as fuck.

My favourite dessert is to melt a bar of chocolate, golden syrup and a lump of butter...mix in cornflakes. Eat with a spoon.

Don't worry about the sugar in whole fruit - the obesity epidemic in this country is definitely not caused by people eating too much fruit Grin

I got 2 oranges in Poundland yesterday - a chocolate orange for a pound - bargain! Didn’t have them both after dinner though - I had one before Smile

Who ate the oranges then?

What a bizzare thread. It's got that horrible under current of suspected controlling behaviour...
