A fruit cake is basically fruit, nuts and flour formed into a bread-like loaf. Beside being delicious and filling, it's probably the healthiest sweet treat you can eat. You can even top it with ice cream or chocolate for an even more amazing experience. So why are the poor, innocent fruit cakes getting so much bad press?

Fruit cakes are so delicious they lead to obesity which burdens the health care system. Obesity also a factor of missed work (which burdens co-workers) and decrease productivity (decreasing our tax base). People love them so much they drive long distances to get them. The increased traffic causes global warming and inconveniences everyone on the road. As a result, I'd argue that we should all hate fruit cakes.

Some fruitcakes have been preserved and regifted so many times they're old enough to collect Social Security.

I'm pretty sure that fruits, nuts and flowers are the key elements of the hippie movement and not cake ingredients.

Since you all want to mix fruitcakes and politics, here's my prediction:
When this world stamps out ignorance, violence and wars, and Earth is flooded with peace, love, flowers and hippies, the humble fruitcake will once again become the most revered and desired treat for our taste buds.

Those who profess a dislike of fruitcake have never dipped a chunk of delicious panettone into their morning cappuccino.
