The UK government is trying to get young people to eat more vegtables. I eat more vegtables now then ever before because I am aware that my body is slowly aging and I like cheap food.
I am starting to get gray hairs and small wrinkles and marks on the side of my face from years of sun exposure. I know that if I don't take care of my diet then I could compomise my health. I accept that my body is a machine that wears down over time but a bad diet would make it worse. If my diet was worse then I open the door for diseases like heart problems or diabetes.
The thing is, cooked vegtables taste nice because they absorb the spices that you put on them and they have a nice texture, and they are very cheap. I don't understand why people don't just eat vegetables all the time. That is what I do now. I use olive oil for the stir frys and it is still cheap.
Even in a supermarket, vegtables are cheap. A carrot costs about 10p per unit on average and an onion costs £7p per unit. Broccoli flowers cost about 50p but they are good for 4 or five portions. I cut broccoli into 4 pieces and use one piece each day.
