Agreed.
Of course I may be a bit jaundiced towards them because the first time I tried them, I thought I was stuffing cranberry sauce in my mouf...
If your skin starts turning yellow, you may be overdoing it a bit!!
Fresh apple sounds good and fresh tomato from home-grown must be awesome, but the carrot juice I can skip.
Carrots have made a Quantum leap in recent years from dingy bunches that you had to scrape the skin off to petite little crunchy morsels that are often sold with their own supply of savory sauce (the alliteration was accidental [sorry,there I go again]).
I eat more carrots now than I ever did because of how they are packaged. Somebody did a good job marketing carrots.
My family is Ukranian-Catholic, one of the traditional Easter foods is pickled beets ground with fresh horseradish. It may sound nasty, but there is nothing better served Sunday morning with cold slices of ham and fresh baked egg-bread.
And it'll clear those nasal passages out like nobody's business.
Root vegetables rule.
E. Coli in packaged spinach.
Botulism in carrot juice drinks.
Something ain't right here.
I could eat a jar of sliced pickled beets in one sitting.
I knew it...BUSH'S FAULT!!!
My favorite vegetable is pizza.
That's what I was thinking. President's Choice was also a brand name on the recalled spinach.
Last I heard, the FBI was investigating the spinach producers.
They say it could have been handling of these juices by the buyers that produced the botulism, but since they now have two different incidents, that seems rather unlikely.
That would be Bunny Luv Carrots who did that piece of marketing.....and they are in Bakersfield too.
I have been in Bolthouse Farms and around the fields the carrots come from.
Nobody but illegal aliens work the carrot fields, carrot sheds, and even drive the trucks that haul em around here.
You have your choice of illegals or Sikh Indians. That is all you will see in those places except for some caucasian management.
I was raised in Catholic family, so maybe that is where my Mother picked up her obsession with serving beets at least once a week. Unfortunately, they always came out of a can.
Lettuce, tomato, and onion on my hamburger are all the vegetables I need. (I think the tomato is technically a fruit, but the SCOTUS ruled otherwise at some point).
I generally agree with you on the veggie daily servings of lettuce tomato and onion, but hot and red peppers, collard greens, and green beans all have their place as well.
Roger that!! My daughter was trying to explain it to my daughter in law, who has never had it. Most people get put off by the slimy properties of the okra during prep, but it's soooo good!zzzzzzzzzzzz,
Combing it with slices of home-grown tomatoes makes a meal fit for a king!

Louis Pasteur was a genius!!!
Leave the raw food fad diet to the cavemen!

Agreed, but collard greens can be tricky. They can be good or nasty depending on who prepared them. Up North, we called them spinach.
