Eat at least 5 servings of vegetable and 4 servings of fruit every day
I wish I could find a way to make vegetables non-disgusting. Without the addition of cheese, that is.
I don't eat nine servings total every day. So I will never have a properly balanced diet.
Servings, at least in the diabetic diet, are smaller than you think. For example, a *small* apple, or half a large banana. But getting nine in was always pretty impossible for me.
I had the oddest call from a very impatient woman. I work in the Campus Activities Board office at our university and she called and very impatiently asked if the annual attendance at our events is above 1500 or below 1000. Now, we're very short handed today and that is not information I have at my fingertips so I felt pretty inadequate. I looked in our brochure (no information on that) and on the website (no information on that) and asked her if I could take her name and number and have somebody get back to her - she just get repeating "above 1500 or below 1000", as if she thought I couldn't understand her. Finally, I just told her I didn't know. But I feel like I should have been able to give her a better answer - but why, if I offer to research and get back to her wouldn't she allow me to do that?

Some vegetables, even cheese cannot redeem. I wish I could eat more fruit without feeling like I'm fermenting. I like fruit; it just makes me bloated and gassy. Does V8 juice really count as 2 servings of vegetables? Because I can do that.

What if it was 1200?
Hee.

Join a CSA. I barely eat any veggies during the winter because the ones I get from Jorge during CSA season taste SO MUCH BETTER. Like actual food instead of something that's been sitting in a container ship being sprayed with ethylene for 2 weeks.
but why, if I offer to research and get back to her wouldn't she allow me to do that?
Because she's my annoying professor? Who, to update, called back twice more, with the second call to make sure I took down a message by hand for another librarian that she'd left on his voicemail, but she wasn't sure he'd listen to voicemail.
If she gets thrown off the plane, she's going to sue and make me do the research for her, isn't she.
Also, her sibling is a well-known TV journalist so I just know there would be a big stink.
