Eat more vegetables!(EDITOR'S NOTE: TO YOUR HEALTH)
Eat more vegetables. How many times have you heard this popular, ageless piece of health advice? If you're like me, probably too many times to count. Recommended repeatedly on TV and radio shows, written about in myriad books, journals, and magazines (including this one!), and proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, this pearl of nutritional wisdom truly is worth heeding. But how many of us really do consume enough vegetables?
Growing up, my vegetable repertoire consisted mainly of corn, potatoes, iceberg lettuce, and tomato sauce on spaghetti. My Italian grandmother would make delicious Mediterranean-style vegetable dishes, such as stuffed artichokes, eggplant cutlets, and escarole soup. I rarely ate her vegetable dishes--I was too naive to know what I was missing. The first time I was served a plate of lentils, sauteed green beans, and spinach salad at a friend's house, I felt like I was eating dinner in another country. That's how foreign the concept of freshly cooked vegetables were to my immature palate. Even more strange was the notion of including more than one serving of vegetables per meal.
