We all eat broccoli, green peas, carrots, cucumbers, tomtoes, and corn at my house.
Ofcourse it's not eaten alone by itself, it goes with somethin'. I really like salad tho
with Ranch dressin'. yummy!!

broccoli is like little trees and I hate it. My mother had to force me to eat all her soups with vegetables, gosh it was terrible. I hate raw carrots, it makes me nauseous, I only eat it if it has been chopped into very, very tiny bits in vegetable salad. All ingredients used in making salad has to be diced with a lot of salad cream.

Anyway I'm suffering from not eating my vegetables because I'm the tiniest in my family.

shocked shocked you really dont know what u're missing. Raw carrots either diced or whole - delicious.
Broccoli lightly steamed with cream on it or with boiled corn - simply out of this world.
Whole tomatoes - nutritious

Yuccccck!!!!!!!!! Whole tomatoes?  Yuccckk!!!!!!!!! Am I a goat? cheesy I eat boiled corn, count me out of broccoli, gosh it's like putting a mighty tree in my food, I hate it. I don't eat in front of my parents just to avoid any lecture, because I definitely have to throw out something. I had to learn how to even eat with the angry stare of my mother.

@ Stillwater, 4Him is right, y'know? It depends on your present age but as you approach 40 you need to eat your fruits and much more your vegetables raw or at least parboiled. It may not be desirable but it does a lot of good to your health. Whatever is wrong in eating carrots raw? Ah-ah? Boiling it destroys the nutrients and u end up eating ordinary rubber, if you must know! And that your salad cream increases your cholestrol level which is not good for you, why don't you eat your salad creamless? You'll puke, ehn? Sorry kiss.
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by efuah(f): 11:43am On Feb 28, 2008

Salad creamless? that is like a suicide mission. Thanks anyway kiss, fruits are better but count me out of fruits like pawpaws and water melon.

grin@Stillwater, I feel you. But whatever's wrong with pawpaw and watermelon? These wonderful God-given gifts to humanity, chei, you don't know what you are missing embarassed
If you can't chew them why don't you juice them out, they make a splendid combination and drink it once you won't want stop drinking! True.

The truth is as at 3rd quarter of last year, even the smell of fresh tomato made me want to throw up but could you believe that I now take ordinary fresh tomatoes and lettuce as breakfast at least once in a week? I never thought I could until I had some health challenges that made me become a near-vegetarian as a result of the need to 'detoxify and blah blah'. Wasn't easy initially but am the better for it now and I feel healthier and fresher wink

And to ALL OTHERS who cannot eat/chew their veggies, do you simply swallow them or do you juice them? My point is juiced fresh veggies are EXCELLENT for good health. Am a living witness.

What are our gils turning into?

I was going through the phone of a friend the other day and found video coverages of OSU students- males and a female precisely, in a bath tub stark naked, romancing, caressing and actually making love and then recording it with their phones.

Pls, is the level of moral decadence now in universities?

Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by Nobody: 3:59pm On Feb 29, 2008
I don't like veggies,except when stir fried with a dash of garlic and a cube of maggi.
That's the only time I really enjoy them.
yummy yum yum
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by Dreloaded(f): 4:05pm On Feb 29, 2008
If I could eat everything with spinach I would

I try to eat veggies with any starchy food. 90% of anything green is a friend of mine. broccoli, spinach, lettuce, string beans yada yada

Not a fan of snow peas or even peas sef but I manage if I have to. Dont mind zucchinis either.

Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by LordReed(m): 5:13pm On Feb 29, 2008
It's so funny to see people who dislike vegetables especially from the west cos men y'all are the originators of vegetable salad so why so squeamish??!!

As for me bring it on! They are lite (non-fattening), delicious n healthy; matter of fact just bought a whole lot of carrots. YUM!!!
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by extraman(m): 5:50pm On Feb 29, 2008
It is really amazing to hear people talk so ill of vegetables in this century, we need to grow up as a nation and as a people.Veggies are very good for your health although sometimes not the sweetest of all food, do you expect it taste like sugar?It is also a fact that it boost our immune system and increase our general health, if you are grown and expect someone to force you to eat vegie, na you sabi, check out this video see what Badu is drinking-if she can do this , then, http://www./video/x4guhw_erykah-badu-on-106-park_music
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by velmaN(f): 6:39pm On Feb 29, 2008
I am very picky when it comes to food especially veggies. Count me out when it comes to broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus to mention a few, mere looking @ them puts me off. But carrots, corn, spinach (sometimes, depending on how it is prepared), peas, green beans, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and cabbage, i eat those. Whao, with all the veggies i eat, i don't think i am in trouble health wise if i don't eat broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus. oh i forgot, olive too is a no no.
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by 4Him(m): 6:46pm On Feb 29, 2008
Learnt to eat boiled carbages in college . . . excellent way of curbing ur hunger and nutritious to boot.
Raw lettuce on salads is a must.
Pawpaw . . . just ripening and still hard - i could eat a small whole one in those days.
Peas i like, never been a fan of green beans . . . just disgusting especially when inside fried rice. It disturbs the flow.

Tried boiled onions (the white one)? Superb!

The worst vegetable of the yr goes to the cucumber.
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by minute(f): 6:49pm On Feb 29, 2008

fresh ones only with french dressing.

those that i cant eat,i blend into juice.
Re: Do You Eat Your Vegetables? by anusule(m): 7:08pm On Feb 29, 2008
