Eat Your Vegetables

Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables every day is important. So much so that there is a whole unit of the Federal government devoted to helping each American get their quota each day. In fact, our governments (Federal, State, and local) provide enormous amounts of information for the public to use. They are easy to understand and frequently easy to implement. One brochure I have found to be particularly helpful, especially if you are vegetable-challenged (fruits are more apt to be eaten because of their sweetness), is the "Three Simple Steps to Eating More Fruits and Vegetables" published by the Center for Disease Control (part of Health and Human Services). It is 2-pages and can be kept on the refrigerator as a reminder of how to plug in the necessary fruits and vegetables in each meal. This handy guide should help you on your way to eating better. Good Luck!
