Eve and that apple

Think about the mental connotations of how the entire "fall of mankind" was precipitated by the eating of a lovely living food like the apple and how it might turn so many off from thinking that raw foods arent worth s-it.
I mean really.

That Bible story about the Apple is symbolic of the
'forbidden fruit', which is not mentioned. Some feel it is concentrated
protein.....nuts, seeds, beans, meat. I would also include Fat as a
'forbidden fruit'.
The Apple itself is so plentiful (and cleansing), it should be a main
source of food for Man.....WY

I was always told that the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge was an apricot, so from childhood, I always fell upong apricots ravenously, thinking, "take that, you passive aggressive, paternalistic, meanie of a God, you!" Well, maybe not in exactly those terms. But I did get a perverse, primal pleasure out of eating "sin." Apricots are still one of my favorite fruits[makes devil horns with fingers against head]. And really, why shouldn't they be?

It's nice when someone displays a sense-of-humor here.
We need more of that. I have a large supply of Hunza Apricots, using
a good amount in my Smoothies. I'll remember the 'devil horns' every
time I have some Apricots in the future....WY

I always thought that the forbidden fruit was figs
cuz as you recall adam and eve hid themselves with fig leaves... at least that is what bible scholars say... fig leaves..

and hence i too have always had a profound penchant for the purple bruished sweet flesh of figs
