Still, an orange baby would be quite cool - I would encourage her to eat oranges as an experiment - she could maybe also include carrots just to make sure.
My son eats loads of fruit and veg, but he also very keen on oranges. He has a 4 a day limit, or he gets an upset tummy - too much acid I think. He does have olive'y skin, but I have never noticed him going orange - but then again, he doesn't like carrots. I think we need to shift your colleague on to carrots to ensure that the experiment has every chance of producing an orange baby.
