did he hate fruit??
In a poem by Robert Kloss entitled "Martin Van Buren" it is said that, "They called you Van Ruin although this was not your name. They stood jobless and wretched below your window, throwing decayed fruit. These pieces thumped and splattered and streaked in wormed juices. They waited for you at your carriage, jeering. Had they known at that hour a man such as you could die as any other man perhaps now they would have butchered you for all to see, but instead they spat, and instead they hissed."
If this is true, I am sure he had a low regard for fruit after that.
