I used to be allergic to apples as well. Couldn’t have apples, peaches, cherries, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and a handful of other foods that I can’t remember. Went nearly a decade with allergic reactions. Then just a few years ago, it all went away. I can’t even begin to express how satisfying a perfectly ripe peach is, now that my mouth and throat doesn’t start to swell.

Sorry, was I supposed to eat them while they are alive?

I hate everything about this. Good lord what have you done.
