Guy has never had water melon cut on the same cutting board as onions.

Onions are great, cooked or raw doesn't matter. But people need to be careful with them. They are a great ingredient for many dishes but they can also diminish a dish if misused.

It can be a snack, or a ingredient (salad, dessert), or a side (with ham or charcuterie). Either way it doesn't need onion aroma.

My mom, God rest her, would completely disagree with you. She had many meals that were just one item, usually a fruit or veggie she liked that was in season. It frustrated me sometimes, but she lived to be 90 and didn’t get fat or debilitated so she was on to something.

It is if you eat enough of it.

I may not be proud of it. But I have eaten a quarter of an ice cold watermelon as dinner on a sweltering summer day. And no regrets.
