Most young adults on down very rarely eat veggies never the less cook them.
I remember my mother telling me about being the 'lunch lady' at
school.......the kids would go 'I want some of that white stuff.......no,
some of that yellow stuff and don't give me none of that green stuff. This
was a day they served mashed potatoes, corn and peas. French fries they
knew. She said 'America is safe so long as they teach the future
generations their colors' (said with tongue planted firmly in cheek).
