It's very depressing to see that only 52% of a well-educated set of people even claim to eat the best source of nutrition on a daily basis.

It's risen to 72% now. Maybe there was an early rush of responders munching on McBreakfasts.

I am an unrepentant and cheerful carnivore, but I also eat and enjoy a substantial volume of vegetables. Unlike Chris I'm fairly sedentary, so I try to avoid starchy carbs as much as possible.

Yes, I do! Starting with my breakfast: a cup of jasmine tea, a rocket omelette, two thin slices of chicken ham, a few cherry tomatoes, followed by a strong espresso coffee (drinking it now).

Yes, I do. Today on the menu for lunch, green peas as a side.

I adore food and that includes vegetables. I eat them every day, raw at lunch (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, chicory and carrot) and cooked at dinner.

poll question "Do you eat your greens and veggies every day?"
Firstly, thank you for not writing "everyday".
Secondly, yes. Every week I make a large pressure cooker of soup consisting of chickpeas, green lentils, carrots, celery, a few chillies, onions, garlic, chopped tomatoes and whatever else I thrown in. NO SALT. Then I give it a whisk to make it into a thick chunky soup. Then I put 6 portions into 6 GLASS containers and freeze them. That's my lunch for a week. Eaten with pitta & hummus. Followed by fruit (Spanish oranges are good at this time of the year, in London)

How can you even think of cooking and eating that so early in the morning!
I attack the fruit and veg later in the day, in this season often vegetable soup of some kind.

As far as I'm concerned, the question might as well be "do you breathe every day?". It's just part of basic foodstuff for me and I don't even think about picking or counting them.

Wouldn't the vitamins, enzymes and all the good shit in those vegs get eliminated once you've pressure cooked them and then frozen them?

Yes - I can't imagine making an omelette in the morning. Especially not a rocket omelette. And I'm puzzled by chicken ham. What part of the chicken does chicken ham come from? Or rather, parts. And what about nitrates? This sounds like processed meat. Unless Marlyn Monroe was right ("that chicken and matzo balls soup was delicious, Mrs. Miller. What other parts of the matzo can you eat?")

You said "everyday". And no- pressure cooking keeps all the goodness in - so long as you know how to use a pressure cooker. I only cook the veg for a short time. I never overcook them. And they taste even better a few days later.
