Yum yum cabbage!

You know what?
Peas, potatoes and corn aren't really considered veggies. And peas, in themselves, provide little to no roughage. So I'm a little taken aback when I see an article which proclaims the following :

Potatoes, corn and peas make up 40% of the vegetables that Americans consume, according to the CDC. People aren't eating enough dark green vegetables like broccoli and brussels sprouts, which contain lots of vitamin C and many phytonutrients, or citrus, which is high in vitamin C and fiber, nutritionists say. "There's no question right now that Americans are eating a very narrow spectrum of fruits and vegetables," says Jennifer Seymour, an epidemiologist in the CDC's division of nutrition and physical activity.

At the same time, the closest people get to is the french fry? Oh dearie me.

About 90% of the U.S. population does not meet the government's recommendation for fruit and vegetable consumption, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is helping to develop the "More Matters" campaign along with the Produce for Better Health Foundation, a nonprofit group. The average intake amounts to less than two cups of broccoli a day. One of the most popular vegetables in the country is the french fry.

Now, this isn't an article about Americans. Not for me, no. It's more about food, and what you eat, and what it does to you..... for better or for worse. I firmly believe you are what you eat! I lurve cabbage - which, incidently, boosts estrogen - and anything leafy and/or dark green. Beans, spinach, kailan (did I mention cabbage?), bokchoy, tapioca leaves


Oh dear, just remembered something.
I think the MasterChief isn't a veggie person. :o
How's that for irony?
