Soya beans, in particular. I'll eat them, because I recognise a diet is lacking without fibre and minerals and such.<BR/><BR/>Nowhere near as bad as my colleague who swears he hasn't touched a strand of fibrous plant material in years. (true enough, I see him picking the lettuce off his burgers)<BR/><BR/>But [sigh] if you seriously want students to eat more veggies, you probably have to make it stop looking and acting like veggies.<BR/><BR/>For one thing, use lots of oil and sauces. For another thing, no boiling or steaming. Frying is best. Mashing it all up into some kind of soup/stew would work also. Lots of MSg where indicated. Introduce it in some Chinese-style fried rice, even.Gregory Konghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489397507834288291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-37600159180081574812008-06-10T22:13:00.000-05:002008-06-10T22:13:00.000-05:00I found a small CSA locally and they deliver to my...I found a small CSA locally and they deliver to my school on Mondays. The veggies are wonderful!<BR/>If you can't seem to find one, ask at a Farmer's Market. I was driving 50 miles one way to an organic Farmet's Market and it was worth it not to have the pesticides, etc. Of course, that meant I also got to visit with my son...LOLDragonriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350351105941235336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-70487532756002209252008-06-10T10:45:00.000-05:002008-06-10T10:45:00.000-05:00I wish there was a CSA where I live.
