Will Americans go for fast fruit instead of fast food?

Fast fruit and healthy eating is here to stay, forever; fast food places like Burger King, KFC, Long John Silvers, Quizno, Dairy Queen, McDonald's, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell will go away, all together. They deserve to have no business with us, with their poisonous, unhealthy fast 'food' fare. It is time for us to combat dangerous obesity and foolish 'fat' pride and to change out of our destructive eating habits once and for all!

It isn't just fast food people need to dump. It's high fructose corn syrup too....which seems to be in everything!

You Know.....I tried to order one of these for my mother in law 2 weeks ago because she had just had emergency open heart surgery and was told that I couldnt order it because they didnt deliver in her area????????? she lives in a suburb of OHIO! Not in the boondocks! I'm very upset about it, and I will never spend a cent with this company! Since they spend a ton of money advertising and to find out its not available! WHAT A CROCK OF SH*T! FALSE ADVERTISING, and extremely expensive!

Hey Lisa Marie....you might try to take some anger management courses...a company does not deliver in certain areas because of logistical problems (it is a corporate decision based on economics).....just go to the fruit stand and buy some fresh fruit instead, put it in a nice basket with some little hand written thoughts and family pics your mom would enjoy....so beautiful and so much MORE meaning........OR shoot off at the hip, bad mouth, and condemn a company and it's products of which you know nothing about....Are you a spoiled brat by any chance ??

Edible Arrangements is really good. Yes, a bit expensive. But it comes in all kinds of ways. I bought my husband fruit inside a ceramic football. It is very fresh. For my son and his new wife; I ordered chocolate covered strawberries. The hardest part is when you have to put them in ziplock bags. 'cause the arrangements are so pretty. For a special event. Go w/this co.

I cannot believe that people sit and complain about the cost of buying fast food, but continue to buy it every day. This is just going to be another over priced fast food chain. I am all for healthy eating, but what has happened to people that they cannot make up a small salad at night, bring along a small amount of dressing (and you can now even buy prepackaged dressings), put it in a small insulated bag with a small blue ice and save about 6 or 7 dollars a day on lunch. Making a salad costs pennies and even with a prepackaged dressing, you save a ton.
I do not get appeal to eating from any fast food place. It all tastes the same and very generic. The taste is horrid.
I cannot remember the last time i ate at a fast food place or even those chain generic restaurants like TGIF, Chili's, Ruby Tuesday's, etc... yuck

This sounds good. I would rather take my kids through this drive thru, than one that sells something that isn't healthy. I would also rather pay a little extra for the convenience of this and the fresh fruit, than pay later for doctor bills because my kids are feeling slow and sluggish, have cholesteral problems, etc. When you put something good into your body- you feel good, not just physically, but mentally, too.

No.
Not many. Fruit is great after a meal. or as a snack. But a meal of only fruit may be if your a veggie.

I don't know Edible Arrangements.. but in Mexico, in most of the bigger towns and cities there is a great fast food fruit chain called Gusher's, with delicious fruit salads, or all one kind of fruit, smoothies. licuados, drinks, etc.. you can even get a big bowl of buttered corn if you like! I can see that catching on here in the U.S.. Very healthy fare.. sometimes its attached to a 'farmacia' kind of like a naturalistic Lindbergh Nutrition in the back..

Fruit in itself is full of sugar, albeit natural sugar, but still sugar. I agree with it being a desert or a snack, but not a full on meal. Can we say diabetes anyone? I prefere veggies and water. Stew and soup are a great way to hide the veggies from my picky 3 yr old. And luckliy for me, my 5 yr old loves brocoli. If they could add some veggies to the menu I'd go for it, but until then, I'll stick with my home-made food.

Great marketing plan. "Oh we sell healthy food so we obviously care about our consumer!" It's all about money folks. If they can make a buck off of it then they'll do it, if they can't then they won't. They don't care two pennies about you the consumer's health (unless it makes them liable). You're all missing the big picture here..The debate shouldn't be about healthy food vs. non-healthy food, it should be about whether or not this company can maintain profitability in an already over-saturated fast food market. Here's an idea: Make your own food.

Their fruit taste like crap. Go to a produce stand and get the good stuff.

I've always in visioned a drive threw convenience store that sold fresh fruit and veggies. And maybe some kind of low carb lunch meals. Just fruit is not a "fast food" place. It needs to include protein and veggies as one person said to watch out for those with diabetes.
