In keeping with the fruit fly theme that was introduced to us with the Virtual Fruit Fly Lab of Sally's, followed by the fruit fly "blabberize" by Darlene, I thought I would add my two cents worth. Kids need healthy bugs, is an interesting article about the healthy bacteria that is needed in kids (and adults) stomachs for healthy nutrition. As you read the article you wil see that the healthy bugs tend to generate from FRUIT! That certainly is no surprise to the Fruit Fly! In light of that it is important that we get to know our New Dietary Guidelines that were just released by the USDA. ChooseMyplate.gov the new guide to healthy eating!
Time to eat fruit - timing is great as all the local fruit are starting to rippen. Strawberries are juicy and healthy; and those blueberries are heavy on the bushes now - expect to see them at the farmers markets soon.
Funny, my plate never looks anything like the one in your image! Fruits and Vegetables taking up half the plate- where's the fun in that?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Sue, you're right about those fruits though, we've already been through a few cartons of blueberries and strawberries this spring. I look forward to picking the blueberries off the bushes at camp in a few weeks!
