Then she began outlining the details of this new diet. I was going to
eat nothing but fruit and vegetables until I had achieved my weight 
loss goal. 

I had a few questions. 

“Would you consider an Apple fritter to be a fruit?” 

“Is a carrot cake a vegetable?” 

These two questions alone brought such a stare from the other person in
the room that I melted in complete defeat. Already I was losing. It 
seems, and I'm learning something new here, one person's definition of 
a fruit and vegetable is not another person's definition. 

She began outlining all of the rules and regulations of this new diet
and she did it with such glee, in fact, I have never seen her smile 
more, and it was going to be hard not to do it. 

After her plan was firmly set on the table the only thing that I lost
was interest in the whole new diet plan. 

The Bible has some good things to say about fruit. “Even so every good
tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil 
fruit” (Matthew 7:17). 

It is not so much the fruit on the table as it is the fruit in my life
