Our neighbour's horse got somehow free thanks to a distraction of his owner,
they found it half a mile from here "working" on an apple tree. When he and
his owner came home the horse had a really big smile

how will you deal with the onerous task of peeling and cutting them, not to
mention getting you kitchen accessories clean and all that trash you can't put
down your garbage disposal?

But since you buy the precut apples for your daughter, at least you
know that she'll eat them, right? It might be a good time to show her
how...

OMG! Do I have to go through this again? Everyone in this house knows how
to cut up apples. The apples on my tree are cooking apples. We like the
precut ones because they are already bagged up and are pretreated. She can
take them in her lunch or on a car trip and they will not go brown. I get
the pre-cut ones at Costco or sometimes even for free with coupons. We just
prefer the size of the bags of the Costco ones.

Beans and other vegetables mostly. Some nuts and seeds. Some grains. A
very little amount of meat. Olive oil. I eat a very healthy diet.

Yes! I have seen numerous dieticians. Fruit isn't really necessary,
especially for a diabetic which I am. I also have gastroparesis so most
fruit doesn't digest well for me. About the only fruit that has stuff that
can't be found in vegetables is berries. I do take tons of supplements and
I take them for that. Blueberry leaf, powdered blueberries, Resveratrol,
Grapeseed extract, Grapefruitseed Extract and Pterosteilbein (sp?). I run
my diet through the Cron-O-Meter frequently to see what might be lacking.
Mostly it is vitamin E which I also take. I am also tested at the Dr. for
any deficiencies given all of my medial problems.

last I looked, whole apples don't brown and come in all sorts of convenient
sizes and varieties, not to mention they are cheaper, fresher and have no
"treatment"

I don't remember. It could be one of two. It's the Crunchpak brand sweet
apples.
