Apple Challenge Rules - To Rule or Not To Rule

When I think of an apple challenge I think of eating an actual apple.
Possible pulling it out of my pocket, or buying it from a produce stand
on the way to work. Sinking my teeth into the crisp and delicious fruit
of nature during a break. I think the majority of my consumption will
be like this. Yeah, I may cut some up and put into a salad, eat some
freshly made apple pie or incorporate some into baked pork chops. But I
will know exactly how much I'm eating cause I made it myself, it hasn't
been processed.

With bacon it was pretty easy, cause the consumer could visibly see how
many bacon strips they were consuming whether in a sandwich or wrapped
around a fried hot dog; it was pretty obvious. I don't think we had any
entrants binging on a cup of pureed bacon, in which case I think it may
have been applauded. But when it comes to apples, yes, drinking apple
cider or eating apple sauce is on the lame side and I will not entertain
this in my own right, but for others...well, I'm not a cop. In the
spirit of this challenge as in all challenges it's an honor system, if
people find a loop hole, so be it. They are only cheating themselves.
It's not a contest but a challenge to ourselves and with each other.
While there are people that will eat more than others, there's no prise
for this accomplishment...maybe bragging rights and a sense of
accomplishing something.

So I welcome rules and will probably agree with the more hard-line
approach, but will I enforce them? Can we enforce them? How would we?
Coming up with some basic rules may deter some lame butt-nuts and may
even strike a sense of moral responsibility in others.

Let there be rules...
