Shell Scripting Question



hey,

Say i'm doing a loop in which I ask someone a question ...

for $fruit in `cat /usr/fruits.txt` ; 
	do
		echo -n "Do you like $fruit"
		read ANS
		if [ -z $ANS ] ; then
		# NEED HELP WITH CODE HERE
		fi
	done

how can I be able to have loop repeat itself at the same iteration when the 
"if -z" statement turns out to be ture??

I know that continue can be used to do this, however from my understanding 
you need to tell it at which iteration you want to start at.  Is there a 
dynamic way of doing this or something??

thanks so much for any info you can give.
