Why didn't you just say "vegetables". Green vegetables are overrated and expensive. They are promoted by the USDA more to benefit farmers and the economy than consumers. And of course, nutritionists and dieticians fall in line. People here aren't undernourished, they're malnourished. They eat too much, too fast, and too often. Food is actually America's 'drug of choice'.![]()
Everyone says 'Green Vegetables'.
I didn't want to confuse you, but I guess you got confused anyway.
Celery isn't expensive. It's one of the best forms of roughage we can eat, and it can help you lose weight because it takes more calories to digest than it contains.
Broccoli also has anti-oxidants.
Then there's green beans, peas, Lima beans, Arugula, Lettuce, Brussels Sprouts, Zucchini Squash, Spinach, Green Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Green Onions, Leeks, Kale,......
But I didn't mention green vegetables to get in an argument. I simply mentioned it because that mess they showed in the picture isn't a balanced diet.
