Clearly, Emma, fruit is not the same thing as food. Anyway, even if it were food, it's not like it makes a mess or attracts ants or sticks paper together or anything if you spill it on carpet or books. And I mean, let's be realistic here. That rule only applies to things other people are putting in their mouths.
Thank you for that, Marie -- it made me laugh out loud!
