There are several parts of vegetables that are very good that many don't think are edible; peeled broccoli stems eaten raw are excellent. I feed the tough outer cabbage leaves to the deer but I reserve the hearts for me.. cabbage grows very well here, typically 10-15 pounds. One of my favorite veggies: https://www.growveg.com/guides/how-to-grow-bulb-fennel/ I use the feathery fronds for a seafood stock, the thick stems make a wonderful rack on an outdoor grill for cooking fish. The actual bulbs are a fine cook's treat. |

The actual bulbs > are a fine cook's treat. I do like Fennel bulbs and use the fronds mostly in soups. The 'Cabbage Heart' is possibly what most toss and I use for vegetable broth (one of several components). I rarely get American Broccoli so no need to peel the stems. Look up Gai Lan and you can see why no need to peel. |

My 7 year old granddaughter says she won't eat meat because it's from animal. It's a problem keeping her fed. She's such a skinny little thing. Mostly she likes rice and seaweed. My daughter got a smoothie machine and some peanut powder to try to beef up her calories but this could be a problem. My other granddaughters are pretty well fed and healthy. My high school friend is also losing weight at an alarming rate. That guy will only eat fish and chicken and is deathly afraid of oil. Perhaps I should get him a smoothie machine and peanut powder. I even recommended that he take up smoking weed. That guy would grow plants during high school. My guess is that most of my friends did too. When we graduated and went to college, they all went into the school of Agriculture. I thought that was plain weird. |

It may or may not have been a factor with my recent weight loss. I started following the Heart and Stroke diet plan which had one beef dish every three weeks, chicken about once a week, a couple fish dishes per week and the rest are vegetarian... also very low salt and low fat. The meat and dish portions were all very small. I was losing 1-1/2 lb. per day. I eventually plateaued. I gained a couple pounds back after Christmas because I was eating desserts and more meat. We did vegetarian last night and the night before and I dropped two pounds. Personally, I have found a semi vegetarian diet to be a good way to lose weight, though I cut out good desserts and pastry treats. I know a fww vegetarians who don't seem to enjoy that benefit. |

Depending on how one looks at things, one might see her as a principled little girl. Either that, or she has an eating disorder. Guess how I see it. |
