Normal to like fruit better than candy?

I find the following fruits taste better and to me have a more natural and better tasting sweetness than most candy, cake, or junk food: grapes, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, plums, nectarines, sweeter types of apples, and pineapple. It's not just that they're healthier, but I really prefer the taste of any of them over almost any junk food or candy. Is that normal?

    I knew someone who had a son who has never eaten candy other than Skittles (as of this writing, he is 12 years old and first met him at 2). His source of sweets are fruits and I think that's just fine. I wish I was more like that since I have had so much dental work done.

      I need a little dental work done myself. Skittles are pretty good. I still like fruit the best. Treating myself to some sweet grapes right now sure sounds good, or a honeycrisp apple, they are sweeter than candy to me, and have more vitamins and fiber than candy which to me, helps me enjoy the sweetness even better

    Fruit is nature's candy. You should hand out apples to trick or treaters. I'm sure that will go over well. I'm not really into sweets that much and prefer fruit myself.

      Fruit is nature's candy. It's natural sweetness and flavors make it great.

      It would still be better to hand out candy instead of fruit to kids on Halloween, they will prefer that. But I will encourage kids to eat more fruit on most regular days. It's more important for adults to eat fruit instead of candy, particular when we start getting older

      Yes they are. Strawberries and grapes are both better than any candy. Blueberries too, and peaches, and all the fruit I listed up top. If there's any that's very best of all, it's grapes, green or purple
