Crims Gone Fruity

Over the past couple of years we have been gradually making changes in how we eat in the Crim household, but I was amazed the other night when I realized that we had consumed 26 lbs. of fruit in ONE WEEK! Yep, you read that right... 6+ lbs. of apples, 10 lbs. of oranges, 3 lbs. of pears, 2 lbs. of grapes, and 5 lbs. of bananas!

Not bad, eh?

That's a lot of fruit. But then you do have four growing kids. :)

Hope it was all Organic or your kids will be growing like weeds soon from all of the fertilizer. Oh'Well, at least they'll be bug free this summer from the pesticides........

Your post sparked my curiousity, so I tallied up how many pounds of fruit we bought this month. I honestly thought we'd have a chance at holding our own on this one... I stand corrected. Apparently, 32.5 lbs of fruit a month isn't enough for our family of two. According to my very official calculations, your family eats 1.14 lbs of fruit per person each week, more than mine. (I counted the girls as one person, but if they eat enough to count as two, then you've only got us beat by .27 lbs) In conclusion, I'm a big dork for figuring this out.
