    Okay kids back from the interwebz; 6 pound watermelon is approximately 816 calories according to the USDA. And eating this much may remind you of the opening scene from Parenthood Steve Martin and his boy after the Cardinals baseball game"Diarrhea fuft fuft Diarrhea!!"

    "Intestinal disturbance
    Excessive consumption of lycopene rich watermelons can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, gas and indigestion.

    In the elderly, eating excess watermelon can exacerbate this condition, as their digestive system is already weakened by age, by causing anorexia, diarrhea and other intestinal problems."

    Source unknown lost the source. . . .

    I'm just kidding...but no, seriously...I was craving watermelon and my.mouth was watering form these delightful, descriptive posts about yummy crisp pink juicy goodness, and then Steve Martin and diarrhea. :/

    But I am laughing now and I'm totally still going to eat the watermelon. :-)
