We need to take vegetables out of the role of side dish, even in low-fat, vegetarian diets, whose calories are generally derived mainly from grains and other starches.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To the extent we push meat a little bit to the side and move vegetables to the center of our diet, we're also going to be a lot healthier.
Vegetables are interesting but lack a sense of purpose when unaccompanied by a good cut of meat.
I don't eat vegetables. I only eat food like cheeseburgers, Spam, hot dogs and pizza.
Because I'm a chef, I eat out frequently, so it's hard for me to control what I consume in terms of calories. But when I'm at home, I eat what my wife cooks for me. She works hard to avoid making foods that are high in calories and cholesterol, so most of the time, she makes vegetarian dishes.
Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.
The more people get advised to eat vegetables, the less it seems they wish to eat them. And it is quite a natural response. So I've said that the main way that we get to like food is through being exposed to them, but there's a second condition. We have to be exposed to them without feeling any sense of coercion.
A great way to get all the right nutrients is to make a colorful plate - mix of good vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein. If you notice all your vegetables are green, change it up and add another color for a variety of benefits in one meal.
At work, we have fantastic catering people. They feed the cast and crew all day, and they're sensitive to the needs of picky vegetarians like me. They have delicious salads. I keep mine simple: romaine lettuce, avocado, baked tofu, carrots, tomatoes and Asian dressing.
I don't really like vegetables. But I'll eat them.
I don't want any vegetables, thank you. I paid for the cow to eat them for me.
