THREE OR MORE TUESDAY: 5 A Day

With recommended daily allowance for fruits and vegetable being 5 per day a trip to the grocery store can look like a piece of art. I love vegetables and fruit but I still find it hard to get the recommended amount each day. I had strawberries, grapes and pistachio nuts for lunch yesterday. Cauliflower at dinner and I nibbled on radishes in the afternoon. Still not 5 servings but close. Normally this picture would have sweet peppers in it too. Oranges, reds and yellows. I went to two different stores yesterday and the peppers were lousy.
There is a lot of talk now about the 100 mile diet. Not a weight loss diet but one to lessen the load on the earth caused by trucking food everywhere. They are filming a show about it not far from where I live in the Lower Mainland area of Vancouver, British Columbia. I'm sorry world but we don't have the warm temperatures of California or Florida or any other warm place. My picture above would contain some lettuce and hot house grown tomatoes and cucumber. Maybe some onions left from last year (not the way we go through them) and whatever stuff I would had canned last summer. I am too selfish I know but I can't won't give up on this wonderful, fresh healthy food.
