The Best Food is Fruit

 

By Ericca Richardson

Fast food has been branded as a quick fix—a drive-thru solution for a busy world. Burgers in 90 seconds. Tacos at midnight. Nuggets in a box, fries on the side. But we never ask the deeper question:

What is fast food really costing us?

Not just in money—but in energy, vitality, attention, and alignment?

In a world rushing toward artificial convenience, we’ve forgotten the most powerful, most accessible, and most ancient fast food of all:

Fruit.

Not processed.

Not preserved.

Not packaged in chemicals and confusion.

Just fruit—straight from the source, ready to eat, carrying codes of life, hydration, and healing in every bite.

The best fast food has always grown on trees.

And it’s time we remembered.

What is Fast Food—Really?

 

Fast food isn’t just food that’s made quickly—it’s food designed for efficiency, simplicity, and portability.

That’s why it’s so seductive. You’re hungry. You’re tired. You don’t want to cook or think. Fast food says: “I got you.”

But what if there was a fast food that:

• Didn’t destroy your gut

• Didn’t drain your energy

• Didn’t clog your arteries

• Didn’t cost your soul

… and instead cleansed your system, lifted your mood, restored your cells, and kept you light and sharp?

That’s fruit.

Apples. Bananas. Grapes. Oranges. Mangos. Dates. Figs. Watermelon.

Each one is pre-packaged by nature, fast to eat, and rich with nutrients that your body recognizes and knows how to use.

That’s what fast food should be.

Why Fruit is the Original Fast Food

 

 

Fruit is divinely designed for speed and efficiency:

• No cooking required

• No preservatives needed

• Minimal digestion time

• Self-contained packaging (bananas, oranges, etc.)

• Instant fuel for the brain and body

But beyond convenience, fruit is alive.

Unlike processed fast food that is dead, acidic, and low vibrational—fruit is filled with biophotons, enzymes, antioxidants, fiber, and hydration. It carries the intelligence of the sun, the soil, and the cycle of life itself.

That’s the difference between food that fills… and food that fuels.

Fruit and the Human Body: A Perfect Match

 

We weren’t designed to digest fried meat, bread, cheese, and oil all day. Our anatomy, our digestive system, and our blood chemistry suggest something else:

• Our intestines are long and coiled, like frugivores—not short like carnivores.

• Our stomach acid is weaker, ideal for soft plant foods, not dense animal flesh.

• Our natural cravings as children go toward sweet fruits—not raw flesh or heavy starch.

In short, our original diet was light, water-rich, sun-fed fruit.

It hydrates. It cleanses. It gives energy, not sedation.

When you eat fruit consistently, you begin to:

• Wake up earlier with clarity

• Breathe easier

• Think sharper

• Eliminate toxins

• Feel lighter in body and spirit

This is not a diet. It’s a return to harmony.

Fast Food vs. Fruit: The Real Comparison

Feature	Fast Food	Fruit
Prep Time	Fast	Faster (no prep)
Convenience	Packaged	Naturally packaged
Shelf Life	Long (with chemicals)	Short (because it’s alive)
Cost	Cheap upfront, expensive long-term (health costs)	Inexpensive, rich in value
Health Impact	Disease-causing	Healing and hydrating
Energy Result	Sluggishness	Clean fuel
Addiction Risk	High (salt, fat, sugar combos)	Low (unless detoxing)
Vibration	Low-frequency	High-frequency

It’s not just about food. It’s about alignment.

 The Programming Around “Fast” and “Cheap”

 

 

You’ve been trained to believe fast food is your savior. That eating healthy is too expensive, too complicated, or too time-consuming.

But the truth is this:

You’ve been sold disease in a paper bag.

Marketing made you crave it. Stress made you normalize it.

And now, addiction keeps you coming back.

But here’s what they won’t tell you:

• One apple can satisfy your brain more than an entire combo meal.

• Bananas cost less than $0.30 each.

• A big watermelon can feed you and hydrate you for days.

• Dates, mangos, grapes, and oranges give you energy like no energy drink ever could.

You’ve been lied to. Fruit is faster, cheaper, cleaner, and more sustainable—for your body and your bank account.

How Fruit Heals: The Science Behind the Sweet

 

 

Fruit is not just sugar. It’s structured, cellular-level nutrition. Here’s what it really gives you:

• Fructose: Natural sugar your cells use instantly for energy

• Fiber: Slows sugar absorption and scrubs the colon

• Antioxidants: Fight inflammation and reverse aging

• Enzymes: Assist digestion and cellular regeneration

• Water: Hydrates your body at a cellular level

• Electrolytes: Keep your organs functioning properly

• Sunlight Memory: Fruits carry the energy of light

In short, fruit doesn’t just “not hurt you”—it actively heals you.

And it does it faster than anything else. Why? Because it’s designed that way.

 “But Isn’t Fruit Too Much Sugar?”

 

This is one of the biggest myths—and it’s rooted in confusion between natural sugar and refined sugar.

Refined sugar (like in soda, cakes, or ketchup) is stripped of fiber, minerals, and water—making it toxic, addictive, and harmful to your pancreas.

Fruit sugar, on the other hand:

• Comes with fiber

• Enters the bloodstream slowly

• Is used instantly by your cells

• Doesn’t spike insulin the way processed sugars do

Even diabetics can benefit from whole fruits—especially when eaten on an empty stomach and in the right combinations.

Fruit sugar is not the enemy.

It’s the upgrade.

The Mental Shift: From Craving to Clarity

 

Here’s the deeper truth:

Most people don’t crave burgers.

They crave comfort, dopamine, and quick relief.

But when you start eating fruit:

• Your palate resets

• Your body starts detoxing

• Your mind clears

• Your emotional state improves

Fruit is living information. It not only feeds your cells—it reprograms your desires.

And once your body remembers what real food feels like?

You won’t want to go back.

Kai’s Story: A Fast Life Slowed by Fruit

 

Kai used to live in the drive-thru. Double cheeseburgers, fries, Red Bull in the morning, fried chicken at night.

He thought he was just “too busy to eat right.”

But inside, he was sluggish. Foggy. Depressed. Addicted.

One day, after feeling faint at work, he passed a fruit stand. Something told him to stop.

He bought a watermelon. Took it home. Sliced it open. Ate it with his hands.

Something shifted. He felt alive.

That night, instead of greasy takeout, he ate oranges and bananas. The next morning, he woke up early, light, and clear-headed.

From that moment, he began eating fruit daily. Then mostly. Then exclusively.

He didn’t just lose weight—he found himself.

Fruit didn’t just heal his body. It reconnected him to life.

 

Reclaiming the Real Fast Food

You don’t need to complicate your healing.

You don’t need powders, potions, or a hundred supplements.

You don’t need a new diet every January.

You don’t need to count calories, macros, or grams.

You just need to go back to the source.

Nature made the best fast food:

• It’s simple

• It’s sweet

• It’s fast

• It’s sacred

• It’s for everyone

The best fast food isn’t in a box. It’s hanging from trees, growing from the earth, and waiting to remind you who you are. Don’t hesitate to plant your seeds for your future fests.
