nutritionists tell us that vegetables contain a wide variety of substances that are beneficial to our health, and these are not vitamins and minerals, they are called phytochemicals.
given the fact that in the western world people consume a great deal of industrially processed food eating a lot of fresh veg (and fruit) can only be beneficial.
do you consume a lot of these?
talesin- jicama?
take a jicama, peel, and cut into pieces. squeeze fresh lime onto jicama and sprinkle with cayenne powder. I don't think it is a stir fry thing...It is a salad thing. It could be a stir fry thing, I just have never heard of it. We eat it her all the time. Plus all the vegies. Love them. More so than meat.

of all the holidays that witnesses shun, this was the one i could understand most.
but after leaving the organization, how do you feel about it now?
.
i have to say: wow!
this new diet coke tastes very good and is almost as good as the "real thing".
3rd eye. I actually have raised my kiddos to eat what I prepare, so they are no stranger to tofu and wheat germ and all the crazy foods I get into. They love sushi and are very open. I am proud of them. My littlest had a sitter that is vegan, so she does not like to eat meat. She is just shy of 5 yrs old. It is just keeping the oldest in qty. By the way, on their own the two oldest switched to diet sodas lately. The youngest we are working on a no sugar diet, but when she goes visiting people feel sorry for her and rush to give her sugar.

Greendawn,
I could be way off topic, I think I am, but I noticed when I went to Europe that I paid an arm and a leg for good food that here is so inexpensive. But in France I bought wine for the equivelant of a dollar. The same bottle here is 10 to 15 dollars. Then I wanted bottled water and had to pay close to 8-10 dollars for a bottle. I ended up staying toasted the whole time.

You are right frozen cans are less expensive. They are working the way up to 2 dollars a container. I think it takes 2 for a gallon. Unless you do not care if it is watered down. I just got a deep freezer, so maybe I will go back to that route.

3rdeye- No joke it is 3.99 a HALF Gallon. So A gallon has to be upward of 6. And yes as often as possible we eat a lot from the health food store. I personally could talk 2 of the three kids into it, but the oldest son is a huge monster horse who can eat like I have not ever seen, and he is still growing. He is 15 and just passed me in height. Size 13 shoes, so I am sure he is still growing. He can drink a gallon of milk in a sitting unless I put a curb on it.

Greendawn-I think the problem here in the US is that Fanta is about $1.50 a six pack and orange juice is near 5 dollars for a 1/2 gallon. I love the real stuff myself, but have to limit what I buy because the price is so crazy. I know that I would love to eat only organic and treat my body right, but my budget does not allow.
when i die may i please have chocolate cake?.
chapter 1. my birth.
i have always thought of my life like that.
For fear of being a bit annoying. I am sending this BTT for FMZ. Trying to get a laugh out of him!

Elsewhere- Do they make it in a Malibu Rum flavor?

i travelled alot recently and i passed through many major cities, and i saw the contrast between nice small quiet towns and huge cities with so much traffic.. so, where would you rather live, in a quiet small town where there isn't much to do,but where it's quiet and there is not much stress, or in a big city with lots of traffic jams, where life is more expensive, but where there is more to see?.
i like the smaller town life.
It really depends on how my day is going. I like the liberty of a large city. I like the family feel of a small town. Either way, I love it!
