Well, this comes fomr a cake lover, so may not apply. I hate it when I
go somewhere and they do the fruit routine, it is like chickening out,
doing the easiest thing, and disguising it as a public health concern.
Let people worry about their own weight and provide both. As I have a
bunch of apples from the garden I might make a poundcake based apple
cake with cinnamon on top, which is nice and warming in the cold , wet
and dark weather...
