Honestly not a bad deal. Remember if you need potassium kiwi fruit is also high in potassium. Also it's okay to eat it with the skin on great for fiber.

Okay in the fact that it's safe but not morally okay. If I see you eating a kiwi with the skin on I am never talking to you again.
Nah, disagree. While the skin isn't exactly my favorite part, the amount of work it takes to peel a kiwi is not worth the minor inconvenience of just eating the skin. It's not particularly hard to skin a kiwi, either, but it's just not worth it when the skin is edible, good for you, and quite tasty. It's just the texture that sucks. It's like someone shaved their balls 8 days ago and you're getting teabagged.
Okay but you just cut it in half and eat it with a spoon though. You don't need to peel it.
You don’t even need to do that, bite it open like an orange (obviously not eating the skin, we’re civilized after all) and then just push it open, eat the insides like a goblin and throw the skin away.
Easy.
I... I don't think I'd be able to ever look someone in the eye again if I saw them eating any fruit like that.
And then I noticed your user name and realized that you are probably that bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so direct eye contact is probably not a good idea anyways...

Are you for real? I bet we all look the same to you. That was a rabbit.
Too much work. In fairness, I'm mostly driving if I'm eating something like a kiwi, so my perspective is a little different
Okay but then your hands get all sticky. Even worse of an argument

Opt out.
I, too, prefer freshly shorn testicles if I'm gargling nards, but I'll take what I can get these days
Are you on the "eating the banana skin" team as well ?
That is less bad than the fuzzy kiwi skin
I imagine it's how a tarantula would feel in my mouth.
But it is the only way to eat them!
This guy kiwis.
Do you also cough up hairballs like a cat when you eat unshaven kiwi?
You chew it the spines are a mash with everything else feels the same after about 10 chews honestly
doesn't the skin prompt an allergic reaction? I've always found the skin to be "spicy"
Maybe in some people.
I always eat the skin
Me too, just not the woody end bits.
I call those bits the furry buttholes but i suppose some plant scientist has a proper latin name for them, like kiwifructus-butthollus or something.
Agreed. It is usually a hard spike, I don't like those bits.
Potatoes too
Kind of weird cause the modern banana is a very human thing as they are all clones and not at all how they would look and taste if they were natural.
Kind of a dick move from the monkeys tbh.
Ive heard if monkeys ate bananas, their teeth would rot. Monkeys don't actually eat bananas in nature.
TIL. Apparently they may eat certain wild varieties of bananas, but not the ones that we eat. I've been duped and smeckledorfed.
Looks like the same problem with bunny and carrots. Telebi lied to us again.
Honestly, after all the apes had to do to fix the environment, I get it. They gave us foolish humans so much, they need something that's just theirs.
My baby boy without bananas, what would he live on? 😱
I bet they'd make an exception for children. The apes are pretty kind.
What if I were to tell you the bananas can be taken metaphorically?
To determine the size of the metaphor?
