Survey finds that 25% of Americans not only don't vegetables but have never eaten vegetables | |
BRIEF  User ID: 39607259  United States10/09/2019 08:09 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow. Where is this survey that 330 million Americans took to get this 25% number? Cause I never got this survey. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77745584 Or...are you talking about a sample size of about 5000 people over the Internet or In a specific area? More fake polls....more fake news... According to a NY Times poll Hillary had a 92% chance to win the election ... We've already made the case for obesity even if they eat salad because of the shit they pour on it...it's funny because 40% of Americans are Obese!

Eat a cucumber and shut up. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73848670 Cucumber is not a vegetable. Unless if you meant the stalk and leaves. Who gives a god damn hell if some academic insists a tomato (clearly a vegetable) is like an orange or berry! That’s stupid shit is what that is Some academic? Try basic education you backwards fuck.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75644024 United States10/09/2019 08:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think Trump should pass a law that ALL elderly and those with sickness, especially cancer should have a food program which allows them fruits and vegetables at 75% off so they can switch to a healthier diet to improve their health. Many with cancer have used raw food diet to heal themselves and that should more accessible than gut rot foods!!! Quoting: Windy Hill Operator Yeah because you should totally wait until you're dying of stage 4 cancer before you start eating your fruits and veggies.  |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 72598943 United States10/09/2019 08:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Me neither; We've rarely had a meal without a vegetable side. carrots, peas or broccoli. Even our pizza usually has onions & green peppers. Yes because you’re convinced everyone else is just like you and your family. Well done. They should have just had you give the survey results |

Also, most of the vegetables you eat go undigested, so you're just wasting your money. Have you ever visited the restroom looked down and seen vegetables? Of course you have.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78054929 United States10/09/2019 08:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Listen up young people. I'm 48 but look to be in my late 30s. In 30 years I've only ever once been sick (a bout with the flu). I'm in ok shape, but getting in great shape (several years of office work made me lose my athletic edge). Everyone in my family (except myself) are/were in the medical profession. Here is our collective wisdom for healthy diet: Vegetables: Humans did NOT evolve as carnivores. Our mandibles (i.e. jaw & teeth) are those of vegetable eating mammals. The staples of my diet are broccoli (the bread of life), & raw spinach salad (a little Caesar dressing for flavor, or whatever you prefer). That's the basis of my diet. No GMO. Only organic, pesticide-free, pure & natural. I supplement with nuts, berries, & an occasional piece of fruit, and chicken here & there. I try to avoid beef, but I do allow myself the occasional tryst with unhealthy food. I also do a full regimen of health supplements, however I use a fraction of the recommended daily dosages. They over-recommend how much you should take across the board imo. Water: 30 years I've drank only distilled water. I hear the eugenics psychopaths are claiming distilled water kills you. Bullshit. I'm living proof that's a lie. Stay hydrated always. Oxygen: Learn to breath properly. Oxygenate the body. Get the book "Flood Your Body With Oxygen" by Ed McCabe. Worth it's weight in gold. Yoga & deep breathing are a big help. Sleep: Avoid food & water 5 hours before bed time. Sleep in total darkness & total quiet if you can manage it. Solid sleep is a game changer. Melatonin supplement before bed is a must. Digestion: Yep, gut bacteria is crucial to proper assimilation of nutrients. I eat a small amount daily of kimchi, sauerkraut, & yogurt. Also pro-biotic supplements, BUT, those are largely inert. Open a capsule, put into a jar with water & pickled carrots (or whatever), allow the probiotic bacteria to colonize, & have at it. Final note: Go read books by Dr. Herbert M. Shelton or listen to his talks on youtube. He's from the early part of the 20th century, but he was the 1st major advocate for raw organic foods (& the best). Promotes fasting also. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 67904014 United States10/09/2019 09:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most salads are horrible these days, Iceberg lettuce, meat , cheese a few chunks of tomato. Where I live for some reason the trend is to smother the salad in fries and shreadded cheese.....fucking disgusting. I was in shock when I moved here. Hard to find a salad with greens, tomato, peppers, olives, eggs, you know nutrients...... Only one place in a town of 1000 hoagie and pizza shops make a decent salad. |

| Archaic Smile User ID: 77328395 United States10/09/2019 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I knew a guy who never ate a vegetable in his life since childhood, or so he claimed. The guy was skinny as a stick, ate nothing but junk food for all I know and was a hell of a worker. Kinda off though.. To each their own. Everyone is different. We are a subject of our environment. America is bombarded with b.s. food ads that promote things that are not healthy, this enters the subconscious mind, and people wonder why they are unhealthy or fat 10 years later. I eat a mixed/balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, meats and everything inbetween. I avoid sugars and as much processed food as possible. The key to being healthy is trying to eat right as best you can, exercise, and sleep. If you are key on all these aspects your mental health will also be benefited.

Fruits should be your go to...and tptb knows this.  typically a piece of fruit has as much sugar as a pepsi. so your wrong there. No. There is no raw fruit that has a higher sugar content than a can of Pepsi. Fruits have lower levels of fructose. Only the liver processes fructose, so the white sugar diet is hard on the liver. Vegetables are not over-rated. Nutritional education among the average American is almost nil. |
