Basically i’m 15, and i;m a junkie. I don’t eat any fruit and vegetables. With that said, i don’t eat anything like pasta, noodles, chinese and all that sort of stuff. I am in a way, afraid of experimenting and eating stuff that i have hardly ever touched in my life. The only veg i will eat is potato!
So what is a good way of easing myself into eating fruit/veg and proper food?

I try to be healthy and eat fruit and vegetables, but often I don’t eat any, I feed on fast food, beer and other tripe all day but I don’t feel or look any different – I don’t feel any worse than when I eat healthily. But maybe that is because I am still young. What is the point of eating fruit and veg ?

At a meal if you eat carbs and protien, dont eat any veggies but then after the meal you eat fruit, is it the same? I mean you need to have carbs/protien/fiber/fat in every meal right? So can we substitute fruit for veggies?

He was very sick last week with the stomach flu and ever since he got his appetite back he will not eat vegetables (he only eats green beans, peas and carrots and the frozen mixed vegetables, he has also stopped eating bananas which is the only fresh fruit he likes). Has anyone seen this with their child and did they eventually start eating their regular foods again?

I love eating vegetables but eat very little fruit (I am adverse to sugars and sweets. I also find fruits to be unfulfilling whereas vegetables fill me up.) Is there any concrete difference by eating vegetables rather than fruits to fulfill the “recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables”?

Other Organic Fruit and Vegetable Programs

Here are a few organic fruit and vegetable box shippers we found in other English-speaking countries. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list.

1. Australia: Organic fruit and vegetable boxes in Australia and New Zealand make it easier for customers in the country areas to have fresh organic produce, even if they themselves can’t engage in organic gardening. We found regular delivery of organic fruit and vegetable boxes in Perth and western Australia – in Melbourne and Victorian areas – and in the Sydney area.

2. Canada: from British Columbia eastward to Ontario and beyond, many Canadians also enjoy home delivery of organic fruit and vegetable boxes. We found a great place in Ontario that named their box sizes, small to large: Harvest, Family Harvest, and Super Harvest. Like others, their box contents change weekly due to seasonal changes, but you can visit their website to hear what’s in your box ahead of time. If you don’t like an organic fruit or vegetable that’s scheduled, you can make substitutions. Another great option offered by the same company is the opportunity at sign-up to indicate items you never want to receive!

3. New Zealand: Organic fruit and vegetable boxes from Auckland are delivered across New Zealand’s North Island in a plan similar to those found in Great Britain and Australia. On New Zealand’s South Island, customers can order organic fruit and vegetable boxes from shippers in Nelson and the Canterbury area. A 5-year old in the Nelson, New Zealand area summed up the fun of getting surprise organic fruit and vegetables in a box each week: “I like your veggies that come in the box. Thank you.” Lara.

4. United States: Organic fruit and vegetables from Texas are available online for shipment to various parts of the U.S. On most websites, you type in your zip code to see if delivery is available in your area.

I CANT STAND vegetables. I literally gag on them. But it’s becoming apparent to me that I am going to die young if I don’t start eating better. I havent tried it yet so I don’t know if it’ll be any better, but supposedly this is supposed to taste like fruit. So if it’s really a suitable substitute, this’d work for me.
Only so long as it’s REALLY all natural fruit juice though, because I have a severe food allergy to artificial fruit stuff.
