June is designated as National Fruit and Vegetable Month. According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), more Americans than ever -- 28 percent -- are adjusting their eating habits to achieve healthier lifestyles.
I'm thinking I need to do some kind of homage. Like... have a piece of fruit every morning and a big salad with lots of veggies for lunch every day.
Oh, wait. I'm supposed to do that already. Oops!
Maybe it's just gonna be a good reminder to do it more. :)

Lucky for me, I actually like fruits and veggies, even raw and plain, and I live near a huge, awesome, CHEAP, year-round Farmer's Market. I spend about $30/week there (this includes some cheese, bread, oil, pancake mix also), and this is about 75% of my weekly food. I've got great tupperwares so that it doesn't rot too quickly, and I generally manage to eat almost all of it. I just ate an ear of corn, now going to eat an orange or two. I think one of the reasons I'm having success with weight loss is because I eat so much produce, there's not so much room for anything else-and the rest is not always what one might think of as "diet food".
I'll definitely support this one!
I sure didn't realize this was fresh fruit and vegetable month. I am happy to read that more people are eating these - I think it is part of what is wrong with diet in the world.
