what are some good ways to make eating veggies or fruits fun and more tasty...they are just so plain by themselves
Answers:
Give each one a name. Then one by one have them walk into the mashed potato mountain. Have them get scorched by the angry volcanic turkey gravy gods. Then finish them off by having them ride the turkey breast from your fork all the way into the deep black bottomless pit (Your mouth). Make some screaming sounds and what not. You can make up stuff as you go. Thats usually what I do.
Having a nice ice, cold can of beer as your beverage.
I like to dip fruits into low fat cool whip, like apples, oranges, bananas, kiwis, etc...
veggies, I like to eat them with low fat ranch, like celeries, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, etc...

Try a spinach artichoke dip with veggies and yogurt with fruit.
Veggies can be cut into bite size fingerfood pieces and served with various dips:

Also, grilling veggies brings out their natural sugars and makes them sweeter and sometimes nuttier...Try drizzling them with a little olive oil and lemon juice for a healthy zippy kick.
Fruit can be cut up and presented in a pretty fruit salad...Layer it in a glass bowl or parfait dishes so you can see the colors. Or try using a melon baller and then slipping toothpicks onto the bitesize balls.
Also, try skewering your fruit into kebabs and making a dipping sauce for it.
