It used to be 5 Fruit OR Veggies a day ~ Now the doctors
are saying TEN ! 5 Fruit AND 5 Veggies each day !
CARROTS ~ god for you
help you to see in the dark
as bright as a spark !
CABBAGE is sad they
say ~ has its heart in its head and
stands on one leg ~ all day !
PARNSNIPS are white and
very sweet ~ easy to cook
and yummy to eat !
PEAS are veggies sent
from GOD ~ to keep them fresh He
put them in a pod !
Never demesne the
'umble POTATO ~ chipped ~ boiled
or fried they're really great~O

- Comment from author about the poem: We al love a veggie or two ~ but FIVE A DAY is really OTT. Leeks for breakfast and Carrots for lunch ~ Greens for dinner ~ don't pack no punch. Peas for supper (with Fish & Chips !) ~ A celery stick to take to bed ~ it don't cause no drips ! Five a day any old way ~ it really is the healthy way ! Comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOXOX

Although not a veg
I really like tomatoes
all juicy and red.
I like your five haikus too Brian - good for 5-a-day. Must add that if only I could eat 10 a day I would need a much larger stomach. But then it all depends on the size of the portions.
Thanks for your Haik ~ Mike ~ I agree ~ the variety is to ensure minerals and vitamins and roughage ~ controlled quantities control obesity ALLES IN ORDNUNG ! Yours BRIAN
I love veggies quit meat last month for good and its all good!
I agree too much meat turns you (back) into an animal. In the BIBLE Daniel ~ Shadrach ~ Meshac and Abednego only ate Fruit & Veg and it made them fire-proof and insatiable to Lions ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
Very good write! I love fruits and veggies. I try to eat as much of them as I can. Very cute poem. I loved it!--Hugs--Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ I know that being a Nurse you understand all about NUTRITION and Healthy Eating. In fruit & veg every day we ge all the vits & mins we need ~ no need to take supplements. I am horrrified when i realise the amount of supplements my Older American Friend stake each day ! I don't take any ! Pleased it made you smile ~ Hugs ~ BRIAN
Fruit and vegetables grown fresh on the farm or at the store. I eat my share. Tasty right
YES TONY ~ It's very important to have fresh veggies (or fresh frozen ?). Left at room temperature too long ~ veggies lose some of their nutrients ! BRIAN
Welcome
This made me smile...im a vegetarian do appreciate a poem about veg 😄 good fun
Thanks JOOLES we all need veggies but especially the carnivores ! Thanks for caring & sharing ~ BRIAN
You are spot on about what the latest science has proven. A haiku of information.
Good write, I eat any veg and fruit and meat and anything else that is put in front of me. BUT I am a great believer in everything in moderation.
Good advice GF ~ MODERATION (Self Control) is the Ninth Fruit of the Spirit ~ AMEN Yours BRIAN
