are magic. I've decided they're my new fav food. I love how they make me feel better then any other food. they rock. what is it about these little guys that are so awesome?

oranges give me superpowers<3

I miss those. I used to drink a 16oz glass first thing in the morning and it was the best thing ever. I don't know if it was the "sugar high" or what but they were just awesome.

I'm stuck waiting until January until they're in season again. Plus I need a new citrus juicer.

Yes, they are magic. I have at least one every day. I get withrawal symptoms if I should have to miss a day.

I am really enjoying the local seasonal red navels right now. The are 4/$1.

Yup. They are awesome. Full of sunny goodness. Red Navels are the best.....and maybe the honey tangerines. Heh..heh...

red navel oranges?

never heard of them? are they organic, are they safe to eat conventionally? (like have they been overly sprayed?)

i find that i have to eat oranges whole. as much as i enjoy fresh squeezed o.j. it sends me into "sugar shock".

what of blood oranges, when do they come in season?

I ate 7 oranges today cut in quarters

I am craving them like crazy right now too. I don't know how many tangerines I have eaten today.

coconutcream, i think thats awesome that you ate those 7 oranges, whole, but quartered.

i like to mono eat one fruit at a time, and when i do it can be alot, like 2 whole pineapples in the course of the afternoon, or 2 whole pineapples for dinner after a long day at work, when no good food was available.

do you ever feel guilty like you "pigged out"? i try to get over that feeling because i am tall and very skinny.(meaning i am not worried about my weight)

do the clerks at Whole Foods ever say, "wow, what are ya gonna do with ALL THOSE ORANGES?" now that i think about it i guess they dont because i think you buy yours from street vendors, or farmers market, (i sometimes read your blog).

i am now craving navel oranges and thinking about eating them as a mono fast for a few days,
(waiting for my mouth to heal from the raw pineapple, and i still have a few more on my kitchen table).

yea people tell me that all the time. like what are you going to do with all that fruit, and i look at them like wtf why are you looking at me like I am some kind of piggy i weigh like 110? ?_? lol

that's probably just me though sometimes i feel like I eat a ton and I feel like maybe I am a little piggy so i feel like people think that too. Whatever who cares as long as you feel good. I also feel like I'm SUPPOSED to be 5'7 and rich and blonde, but I'm not so who cares. =P we are all different, and that's what makes us beautiful. we all come from the same place and end up there in the end<3 it's not a race.

Often when I would buy a few days' worth of watermelon at the store, the clerk would think i was having a party. Well, I guess in a way I was, just with myself!

I kinda feel greedy and guilty too.
My local healthfoods shop is quite small, and they only get one delivery. And I keep buying them out of stock pretty much!
I cleared all of their clementines - but hey, at least there's plenty of onions and garlic for other customers, right? heehee

One time when I felt, physically, that I needed to fast, I couldn't because of my work schedule. I just can't fast when I have to work a lot. Instead, I mono ate organic oranges for two days. I felt so energized and clean. It was like the energy of the sun was in the oranges.

I've been including the orange seeds in my smoothies--just quickly peeling and dumping the orange into the blender. Does anyone know if consuming orange and lemon seeds is unhealthy? I have been consuming both for a few months, and I can't find any information on the Net stating that they are/arnen't healthy to consume.

I'm thinking a few days of eating only oranges sounds lovely!

I love oranges, they're the most refreshing food on Earth. I can get back from a workout and eat one and its like drinking a glass of water!

Lee, thanks for sharing your experience with the oranges when you felt the need for a fast but weren't in a place to take down time. Maybe I'll play with that!
Love,

i read in a book (wish i could remember which one!!) that as long as the seeds are organic they are very nutritious.

I love oranges but dont eat them a lot because they tend not to settle too well Well, I got sick this week and I have been craving oranges like crazy - they are basically the only thing I have eaten the past few days. I am thinking that my body needed the high vitamin C content.

Yeah but oranges are pretty amazing :-)

f1 told me once that oranges are super cleansing so sometimes if people get sick it is a detox symptom.

mm I love them!! Have been eating 1-3kg a day yummy

I just dragged home 4kg for tommorow hehe
