Eating Fruit Slices

by William H. Gilmore in Psychology, March 25, 2008

How you treat pieces of fruit may be an indicator of how you interact with others. Here is an interesting comparison using some of your eating habits.

Individuals’ reactions to things are more extraordinary than most realize. For example many take for granted the sensation which occurs when eating sliced pieces of fruit. Two views will ultimately result whenever a fruit such as an apple, orange, or a melon are diced into several pieces. One group of eaters will spontaneously devour all the pieces without thought to whether any slice was different from the other. While others who eat will sort through the size of the slices and relish each cut they chose as if each had its own special flavor, texture, and amount.

The first group does not distinguish pieces of fruit by its individual slices. The second group does value each cut as something unique and independent from the other cuts.

There may not be any correlation to whether these same different groups of people relate to other things in the same way. In other words do they see other objects, plants, animals, and other people in the same manner as the slices of fruit. How they react to sliced pieces of fruit in comparison to people maybe a subject to study, but it is certain many people do form stereotypes, especially of others.

It would seem that everyone would want to relish each cut of a piece of fruit as a different taste and morsel. While they bite into the fruit, they could savor the various blends of fiber and juices.

So it would seem people would contemplate each object which comes their way as a new adventure to experience and each human being they meet as a unique new person. But many do not think that way. Many do not think that deep into the matter. Many see the interaction with others as pieces of fruit they either like or dislike; if they like what they see, they merely consume it up.
