Mine too Michael. My grands and greatgrands can usually identify the
variety of green beans they're being served. All of them got good,
healthy vegetable strong meals from the time they could mash their food.
They still like the fast food junk but they are more than willing to eat
veggies. They particularly like my potato salad because I leave the
skins on the taters.
