Fruits and Veggies

[Osmara13]

With all these TV shows of over weight human beings : it makes me wonder how many of us are prone to eating Mcdonalds as a quick and easy meal. To actually eating at home or just have a small snack as a fruit or a veggie.   This problem has become more common as the years have come by. One i blame technology and two i pay the poor eating habits due to lack of time.

I actually would eat anything under god's sun! I  all fruits and veggies.

Yeah, I'm that way, too! I can probably eat grass if I have some salt nearby...
It makes it easier to eat right, since I enjoy eating ANYTHING!

I sometimes will eat the fruits I like and home cooked food. I will also sometimes eat food from McDonalds, Checkers, Burger King, and Wendy.

I think we are all proned to eating anything that is the fastest to eat.  Although home made food maybe better but I have to have my wendy's occasionally.  I do love my fruits and veggies and I make sure I get a couple of servings per day.

great post!
fresh fruit, veggies, nuts & grains are a preference for me....oh yea and meat. 
when i cook, i like to stir fry to keep veggies kind of crunchy.
doing a balancing act with necessary exercise, eating fresh food and avoiding processed foods i believe would promote better health and weight.
i'm working on myself every day to try my best to take care of this temple of mine. i take vitamin supplement too because i'm hearing how even some natural foods are being depleted of some vitamins.  maybe it's the soil...who knows?

anyway, too good health and slimmer bodies!    ha lol

I recently started eating alot of fruits..I love cherries and grapes..and i have a sald with alot of veggies everynight during dinner..I love them both.

It's so expensive to eat healthy, though!  Buying fruits and veggies is hard because it costs so much, it can be hard to pick the fresh ones, they don't stay fresh long, and it takes time to prepare them (unless you ALWAYS eatraw foods).  I wish there was a way to eat healthier that didn't cost an arm and a leg!!

our current lifestyle and stress levels do lead us to more convenience items (including fast food) and the marketting people have really "sold" this concept to us.  Many people do not cook at home and some don't even know how to cook.

You can gain weight from anything you eat.  Fruit/Veg included, but generally these offer much more benefits (obviously) than the junk food options for snacks.

we also don't get enough fiber and water.....

I like fruits and veggies too. But having fast food once in a while I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. People have to watch their portions too.

certainly -- all things can fit in moderation.
Alcohol has a lot of calories but people much more frequently assume it's other bad choices...... (not saying this is a problem for everyone, but in general we drink a lot of calories -- including soda, juices, sports drinks, etc)
