Fruit vs cake

Why are there several threads a day from people worrying about eating fruit and the sugar, when there are several more a day for cake recipes and they usually get 3 pages of "YAY!" responses?

Surely there is no reality in which cake is better for you than fruit. No matter what the cake, or what the fruit.

    In regards to weight loss, the source of the calories do not matter. However, fruit will tend to be more dense in micronutrients than cake.


    I believe people freak out because MFP sets a "sugar limit" which should be disregarded unless you are diabetic. The "OMG I ate too much fruit" threads are pretty frequent it seems.
