A comment by a jogger watching me lug home my fruits and vegetables in my backpack:



"They won't do you any good unless you eat them."

    Me too! But at least we're supporting the farmers, right?

    Well, actually, if you have a heavy enough load and do some power-walking, you can just throw out the whole mess when you get home! Just kidding, you guys.....I couldn't resist! Wink

    LOL FitChick. In that case, the jogger was good to comment.



    Once, on my my way home jogging with my fruits and vegetables on my back, I saw people in passing cars waving - I thought gee, they sure are friendly today. Then I saw the garbage men waving and pointing. I thought that was strange.



    Then I glanced back. Carrots had been falling out of my backpack for the last eighth mile along my path, a la Hansel and Gretel.

    And wouldn't it have been truly delightful to see a trail of little Beatrix Potter bunnies hopping along scooping up and gnawing your carrots?  Laughing 

    As my mother always said, I DO have some imagination! Tongue out

    Funny stories!  It inspires me to start a new thread on tips to get more vegetables into us.

    I like to blend veges like eggplant or even parsley and put it in spagetti sauce.  I also have a smoothie in the morning and I put in lots of fruit and on occasion carrot.

    I also keep a large bag of carrots in the fridge, anytime I feel snackish I'll grab one
