Nobody eats oranges like this, do they?

I've just watched 14yo DS peel an orange (a small one), then stuff the whole thing into his mouth like an oversized grape. He says it's "easier".

Surely, nobody else does this? The correct way to eat any size of orange is segment by segment.

My dd peels an orange and then bites it like an apple. It makes me want to cry 🤣

Mine does this, it’s more hygienic apparently. He’s got form, since he was about three he'd eat strawberries with the stalks on and the other day attempted to eat a muffin, case and all (he thought it was ‘fancy edible paper’ God help him) so at this point I’m just glad he will peel his bananas.

😂😂

But is there a correct way? It is a bit like all those vids on social media saying you have been eating your toast all wrong, cooking your pasta all wrong, making roasties wring. Surely there is no wrong or right and people should be free to do things how they wish or how works for them?

I might admit to having seen that method before. The reason I stopped buying small oranges is because dd ate them as fast as she could grapes

That’s a lot of juice and chewing in one mouthful!
