Blinks.. uhh duh? My sil peels everything too ... I try to tell her you can eat fruit peels (well, most) and that the vitamins and nutrients are more dense in the peeling, but she wasn't raised that way. I think it's the difference between those who were raised in a more natural environment and confuddled modern people who are still trying to figure out how to grow Pizza..

I eat pizza with a knife and fork, so I'm getting there.

I never knew that not eating peach skin was a thing, except in pies, crisps, cobblers etc.

I now am trying to picture fields of pizza... right next to the spaghetti orchard... near where Peeps are bred...

I actually cycle past a PYO farm on my way home. I'm not going to suggest they expand, though.

Lol. There are people who don't know where there canned foods come from. There are people who can't tell the difference between different species of animals or insects. Had a lady on FB post a pic of a carpet beetle and asked if it was a roach!

I had a young adult ask me recently whether cows were "the ones with horns." As opposed to horses, I guess. She was absolutely serious. I mean, I realize you don't see many cows in real life growing up in suburbia, but still ... there are photos, movies, televisions, paintings, the Internet ... Not to mention school. It just seems like somewhere along the way, the difference between cows and horses should have come up.

ETA: The young woman who asked me this is quite bright, so I guess I'm inclined to think the schools are at fault. Or maybe there's just too much to know and learn these days that "common knowledge" isn't so common anymore. Or maybe I attach too much importance to knowing the difference between a cow and a horse.

Maybe she meant cows vs bulls?

No, I think she actually mentioned horses as the alternative -- it was very clear it was a species comparison, not a gender comparison.

Peach skin contains high amounts of cyanide. I would advise against it.

Not high enough to be dangerous.
