I've just had an apple, but will I go bang at midnight if I don't suddenly eat another 6 different things? And fruit juice doesn't count anymore does it?
That's it, I'm screwed. I can't eat 6 apples as it has to be different things that are different colours.
I will expire at midnight unless the currants in a hot cross bun count.

Eh?

Pipbin · 19/04/2014 22:18

Well we have to eat 7 pieces of fruit and veg a day. I have no idea what happens if we don't. I can only assume we die.

Tin of peaches and a bottle of wine will sort you out
Add a carrot if you have to

I always think it's harder on a non-work day.

I take two pieces of fruit and a big salad to work most days so I am good to go there. If I am at home all day I am much more likely to just have a cheese sandwich and not faff with the orange.

I don't think you'll die tho OP. Just make sure you don't eat any chocolate or anything tomorrow Grin

Hot cross buns count if you eat loads,it's the currents you see and so do bloody Mary's and gin

YouTheCat · 19/04/2014 22:25

Pinot Grigio
Pinot Noir
Chablis
Sancerre
Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot

Pipbin · 19/04/2014 22:28

Normally I eat a million of fruit and veg. I'm a vegi and dinner usually has at least 5 veg in it. That and a salad lunch and I'm golden...............

We die eventually whether we eat 7 a day or not. Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news. Smile

Chocolate counts as three: Cocoa beans (beans count); sugar made from either beets or canes (both vegetables); milk made by cows out of grass (grass is a vegetable). I suspect if you work on similar assumptions, you'll find you've done ok.

Pipbin · 19/04/2014 22:30

Oh ffs Muddling, seriously? Spoiler alert! Thats it then, I'm off for a pie.

Pass, ketchup cures cancer, FACT, it was in the Daily Mail.

Isn't chocolate orange a fruit ?
Obviously have some fruit and nut
Glass of ribena ? to wash the wine down
Herbal essence shampoo ? Don't eat it , but it gets infused through your hair ( and herb is a green veg )

justmuddlingalong · 19/04/2014 22:31

Have an apple pie, sorted!

Pipbin · 19/04/2014 22:32

Pipbin · 20/04/2014 00:42

It's gone midnight and I haven't exploded.
I'd best eat 14 lots of fruit and veg tomorrow.

Juice doesn't count? Bollocks, that was mainly how I got dd2 to take some fruit.

Pipbin · 20/04/2014 09:21

I thought that you could only count juice once a day.
Haribo count though right?

OP posts:
Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 20/04/2014 10:48

Haribo definitely count. So do Fruit Stars etc. And wine gums.

insancerre · 20/04/2014 10:54

i've had 2 cups of coffee- beans are veg aren't they?
with sugar, another veg
crunchy nut cornflakes- corn is a veg, it does grow on farms
and a chocolate aero- oranges are fruit and cocoa beans must be a veg
not doing too badly, so far Easter Grin
op, you are doing fine too, keep it up

specialsubject · 20/04/2014 10:54

no veg in any of your meals?

wow.

Pipbin · 20/04/2014 11:20

I know! Breakfast was cereal, lunch was hot crossed buns and dinner was scrambled eggs on toast.
This is very unusual I'd like to point out.
