Re: Not Enough Veggies Folks

Any suggestions on how to encourage children to eat vegetables - and enjoy them?

My standard line was "eat the rest of those vegetables or I'll plunge the toilet with your head again".

Re: Not Enough Veggies Folks

I love to go out to the garden and hand pick fresh veggies, And Put them on the grill with a good steak. Oh if you ever had fresh green beans from the garden you will never buy them from the store.

Re: Not Enough Veggies Folks

I'm mostly seafood, veggies and grains with the occasional chicken who was askin' fer it.

I'm intrigued by raw food diets. I'm considering it but have to figure out which missing nutrients I'd have to compensate for and make sure I have a good supply of interesting recipes.

How about Sashimi (raw fish)? It's quite good.

Try chopped raw broccoli on your cheeseburger next time.
