Pineapples "eat" meat

Well, kind of. Pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelain which naturally tenderises meat by breaking it down. So it works great as a meat tenderiser. The problem is it also starts to digest living meat if you give it enough time - which is why people in pineapple factories wear gloves! Because otherwise they'd get terrible pineapple skin sores. Gross!
