I eat a lot of broccoli and have for over a decade now. I load up on vegis from that family including cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Kale, and other greens.

Real food is good for you and helps detoxify your body.

Are you saying I'm toxic?

Because you're probably right.

Even if this is overblown it's still packed with vitamins and other nutrients.

I don't buy into the concept of "superfood". I buy into the concept of food, and then food-substitutes (all the processed crap and fast food, etc.)

It's a hefty family in nutritional terms. I'll say that but, yeah, some of these ideas go a bit far. You have people out there who might think all is well if they ate their broccoli.

Where is our expert on veggie's?
I love cabbage rolls.

[Venus]

I love salads but overall I'm not a veggie person. I can't sit down to a plate of raw/cooked veggies, it's one of the reasons why I juice. I can drink them but I don't really like eating them.

Not me - I can eat shitloads of raw veggies, I eat a lunch of just that every day now.

And I shit every morning between 7 and 8, like clockwork too.

I love cabbage especially, we make salads out of it now instead of using lettuce.

Why don't we all go get that Filet-O-Fish we were talking about?

I can't do it....I've tried.

I do mix my salads up, will use cabbage, napa cabbage, spinach, kale, all the different types of lettuce that is available. But to sit and have a plate of raw veggies...nope. Why I failed at the hallelujah diet.

Did you use salt? All things considered... it isn't that bad.

Or pepper - I put tons of pepper on shit anymore, it's unbelievably good.

[momsapplepie]

Gotta love raw veggies! Mushrooms and brocholli are my favs!

[Mister D]

I liek them raw, steamed, parboiled (20 seconds or so) or fried. Can't stand a mushy vegi.

I don't use salt, my blood pressure tends to rise when I do. You eat at my house you will need to salt your own food because I rarely salt anything.

Salt is key to a raw vegi. That and good olive oil.

Yeh, I put olive oil on everything now. Use it for home-made dressings (with basalmic vinegar, garlic and fresh basil).

[nic34]

Every morning, I make sure I get all 4 donut groups: chocolate, powdered, glazed and old fashioned.... :grin: (JK)

I'm a basic guy. salt, oil, and sometimes raw garlic. That will stay on your breath all night and into the following morning so I have to be in the mood for it.

Juicing is good.

Nothing worse than the taste of fresh vegetable flavor.

We tried that veggie diet a while back. My hubby got gas so bad we had to quit. I still have nightmares about it.
