We all know how hard it is to get our children, and even our spouses, to eat the correct number of daily servings of fruits and vegetables. We eat a quick breakfast like a muffin, a bagel with cream cheese or, maybe, a bowl of cereal because we would rather sleep that extra 15 to 30 minutes in the morning. Depending on the brand the cereal may have some nutritional value but probably no fruits or vegetables.

I remember when you could at least count on your children’s school to provide a good meal for our kids once a day, however, even that has changed. Many schools are offering Domino’s pizza or other fast foods that have little or no nutritional benefits. And, as adults, we are always so busy that we don’t take the time to eat a wholesome lunch.

That leaves dinner as our last meal to get the benefits of fruits and vegetables. However, what do we usually do at dinnertime for fruits and vegetables? In my home we usually open a bag of frozen corn or a can of string beans to accompany our dinner. Unfortunately, even if we eat them there is almost no nutritional value to frozen or canned vegetables.

Of course we are saved in the evening because everyone likes a big bowl of fruit for a treat while watching television, right? Not quite, it is usually ice cream or cake or pie and the fruit in a pie is not going to complete our daily requirement for fruits and vegetables.
