Portions Of Fruit And Vegetables A Day
http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ news/he alth-26 818377
Apparently only about 33% of us eat 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day, and now some researchers have suggested that we should up this to 7 a day. I work on the Welsh Health Survey and its apparent that the majority of adults in Wales barely make the 5 a day. Its always puzzled me why this figure is so low, but I suspect that many people are not counting their daily intake properly. When I point out that potatoes are vegetables, they respond by saying that they always eat plenty of them.
How many here on AB eat the required amount ?

OG...yes you may be right but I find a banana is good at hitting the spot when it comes fighting the peckish monster. I am a diabetic and I am trying to get into the habit of having porridge, or similar first thing in the morning, before I go to work. I am always in a hurry, so I don't always achieve my aim. But I take two bananas with me, which usually does the trick !
Its lovely...you should try it. Its the juxtaposition of the sweetness of the banana and the saltiness of strong cheese.
Also banana and peanut butter. A lot of calories I know but scrummy nethertheless.
And blackcurrant jam and peanut butter on doorstep toast !
And Marmite and Cos lettuce sandwiches ! Savoury and crunchy at the same time !

Is there a way that Asian Pears can be made more interesting ? They are very bland, and I wouldn't argue with anyone who said that they tended towards tastelessness. Are they better if left to get very ripe, for instance ?
I am with boxy on those Spanish plums. Nothing is juicier and more delicious than fresh Victorias in August and September ! They are even celebrated in our national anthem ::
"Send her Victorias"
