Today is Eat Your Vegetables Day, bet you didn't know that.
This day was created to encourage you to eat a more healthy diet and to remember to eat vegetables at every meal and you can also have them for a snack.
Parents can encourge kids to help with the cooking of vegetables which encourages them to eat the vegetables they help cook.
What do you think is this a good idea?

I was always very fortunate the my kids loved eating their fruits and vegetables when they were little. Even now, in their teenage years, they still love eating carrots, apples, cucumbers, bananas, avocados and more. My daughter would live off of avocados if I let her! lol

@Marcyaz I think she gets the avocado craving from me! I think the two of us could eat and enjoy avocados for every meal for the rest of our lives and be perfectly happy! Which is funny, because when she was little, I couldn't get her to go near an avocado!

Oh, that's why Patsie had the all veggie lunch. It is a good idea to let kids help in the kitchen. We had avocado in our sandwich and fruit and cottage cheese. Always a good idea to teach the kids and add vegs to our meals.

An all veggie lunch is good for anyone. Fruit and cottage cheese hum sounds good and yes kids need to learn also.

@Marcyaz I remembered he posted on Bubblews that he doesn't like vegetables. Now he can eat some of the veggies I prepare.

That is a very good idea.It energizes the body and the kids must be trained to cook and must learn to eat vegetables as very important to get rid off bad sicknesses.

I am for the most part vegetarian, With exception to fish and sometimes chicken and turkey, I need to be vegan to get rid of this cholesterol problem.
