I have to chime in with Brian. I eat a huge bowl of fruit every day, as one meal, and because I like it. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries and anything else in season, melons, peaches, kiwi, pears, papaya, mangos, etc. It makes me feel better - is it really "chemopreventive"? Who knows. My wife pointed out to me that (fresh) fruits and vegetables are the only food we eat that are actually "alive" when we consume them. In any case the fiber is good for you.

Keeping these fresh is a challenge. Luckily I work at home and the market is 5 minutes away so I shop for fruit at least 3-4 times a week. Even so, I have some VERY happy and well fed worms in my composter.
