What's you favorite vegetable?!
I'm trying to cut down on fat and live a healthier lifestyle, and in so doing heard that vegetables are essentially "free food" - meaning they have very little calories while at the same time serving as great sources of vitamins and fiber, and are very effective in filling you up!. I ask this question to see what others enjoy the most, so that I can get some ideas for the supermarket!. Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com
