Fruit on Strike

There is a downside to increased consumption of fresh fruit, in that delayed consumption of said fruit -- in conjunction with leaving said fruit to bake in a 90-degree apartment every day -- can easily result in in an overly ripe pear literally exploding in one's briefcase (yesterday) or a seemingly healthy apple turning into a terrifyingly brown and mealy mess upon first bite (today).

Any inquiries as to the various upsides of unexpectedly curtailed fresh fruit consumption can be directed to my colon, which has evidently purchased a timeshare in Barbados.
