Eat Your Veggies

I'm sure nearly everyone's parents told them to eat their veggies at some time. If parents didn't insist on it the kids are missing out. I admit it, growing up I didn't like veggies too much. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's the veggies I was fed. Maybe it was the preparation. Maybe there were too many frozen and canned vegetables. In any event, I tried to avoid vegetables as much as possible.

When I was on my own in my late teens and twenties, I didn't eat many veggies. It was my choice. I found greasy food tasted good. I didn't enjoy vegetables very much so I didn't eat them.

These days I like to eat vegetables. I have a salad every work day for lunch. There will be other food with the salad but it is a good helping of salad. I also incorporate veggies into my regular cooking.

It seems the more vegetables I eat the better I feel. I aim to eat more balanced meals. That seems to work well to ensure I have the energy to walk to work every day, get through the workday, and keep up my gym routine.

Maybe all the rhetoric that was relentlessly repeated as I grew up was right. I know I don't always eat well but I do eat healthier, more often than I used to and that is probably a good thing.
