A 'bowl' of fruit

What do you get when you cross 1/2 a pint of ripe strawberries, a large Florida orange, a perfectly ripened Chiquita, and a third-grade-reenactment-of-Snow White-worthy apple? A fruit salad for one of course!

What would your friendly neighborhood nutritionist have to say about eating a fruit salad of these proportions? A salad that literally spilled out of a large soup bowl it was so huge? (for the record, despite the enormous nature of the salad and that fact that no present bowl could contain it, our 2pmLunchCrew-er continued to add fruit...you can't NOT put in the orange once you've come this far, right people!?) Well, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a person on a 2,000-calorie diet should consume two cups of fruit a day. So, bring your measuring cups tomorrow because there may be some fruit-consumption calculations going down!

In addition to holding a fruity intervention, tomorrow will also mark the inevitable return of the meatloaf sandwich (sans extra ketchup) and hopefully (fingers crossed!) the VH1 re-airing of King Pin
