Taking the leg out of vegetables

Hello to the health conscious

Remember when you were a little kid and your mom said those famous words of "Eat your vegetables." Whatever happened to that? It seems like our vegetables are disappearing. Everything else is getting larger. If you get a hamburger, then the patty is humongous like the size of a cow, while the lettuce is one small strip.
Now granted I was one of those picky kids who hated vegetables. I still do not like many, especially the favorite of many Southerners. However, I have expanded my vegetable tasting. Thanks to salad dressing, I enjoy a good salad. Lend me your ears, Caesar is my favorite.
The thing that gets me is that vegetables are getting a bad lettuce wrap recently. So many people are reporting getting sick or a little green off of vegetables. What is the dill pickle? Taco Bell has been run through their bell ringer about the green onions in their products. I am not much of a frequenter of Taco Bell to begin with, but I do not remember enough vegetables that show up under a microscope. I guess they finally found out the source of the sickness in New Jersey, which apparently to a lot of jokes is not saying much.
I say we should try and eat a little healthier. Maybe we should be a little more green. Hey, if you cover it enough then you don't notice it so much. Thank of candy corn, if you like that sort of thing. Anyway, remember the saying "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt."
