I've read a few people comment on the problems caused by eating
excessive fruit.  But what do you all consider excessive?

On a typical day last week I had for snacks: an apple, a banana, a
satsuma, a pear, about 50g raspberries/blueberries, about 50g cherries,
about 50g strawberries, and a raw carrot.  All, of course, modern
domesticated stuff (although the carrot was organic).  I also had a
salad each day, the vege part of which consisted of mixed leaves,
mushrooms, spring onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes (about 8) and cucumber
(am I right in saying that this is a fruit?  I'm sure I can see seeds
inside it but everyone calls it a vegetable).  For my tea I try to eat
only vegetables (mainly carrot, swede, parsnip, broccoli, cauliflower).
  We also have rhubarb growing in our back garden, so now and again I
stew four or five stems with a couple of apples or pears (my mum still
needs a tablespoon of sugar to eat it like this!)

I feel like the balance should be tipped more towards vegetables,
especially greens, but it's all about practicality.  Carrots are the
only vegetable I feel like eating as a snack.
