My neighbor gets a box of undesirable veggies delivered every two weeks. Perfectly fine, but really oddly shaped and other defects. They pay a premium for the service. It supposedly helps with food waste.
This poll will rank what CPers and their families think are acceptable. [Reply]

5 bunches of bananas a week? How? Do you take a whole bunch to work everyday?
I mean, I love fruit too and I eat pears, plums, bananas and oranges basically every day, but damn :-) [Reply]

Take to work? I don't know about all that.
Family of four.
I eat at least 2 in the morning, and at least 1 or 2 at night for the melatonin. Kids eat them daily. Wife probably every other day. They go fast in my house.
I try to eat as much 'real' food as I can get. I just feel that some of the high calorie processed shit filled with a majority meat consumption of the American diet is a recipe for disaster before you hit 55. I'll try my hardest to pass on that path. [Reply]
I'm fully onboard the buffalo cauliflower bus. Touch of smoke then air fried to crisp them up a bit or char them on the flattop, seasoned and sauced and you got a perfectly tasty side.
I've also grown to enjoy cauliflower rice. I'm not going to pretend its as good as real rice but its like diet soda vs regular soda. After having it for so long you start to enjoy it and its a good way to get a veg serving in. [Reply]

Does your family live in trees and swing on vines?
Holy shit I've never heard of anyone's family powering down 5 bunches a week. [Reply]

This is one of my favorite things to eat in the summer:
Heirloom tomatoes with 1/2 fresh mozzarella and 1/2 queso fresco, fresh torn basil, onion powder, garlic power, salt / pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and just a splash of balsamic.
A glass of Sauvignon Blanc and I am in heaven. :-)

I don't like a prepared cherry so much but rather, I prefer a raw, nice and cold bowl of cherries with a lovely lime Perrier.
I’ve upped my fruit and veg game trying to clean up my diet.
Our problem is we have 1 grocery store. I can go 45 minutes south and get to Garden but fuck half the time the produce down there isn’t materially better than here.
I’ve done the box thing and I dunno it’s kind of expensive, they try to be organic and that shit doesn’t last. And then they proceed to beat the fuck out it all getting it to my door. I have a misfits account. Maybe I’ll pick it up since the wife is off for the summer.
Nothing beats fresh fruit. I’ve been eating the shit out of Gala apples. I like SR love cherries. I like green bananas, but when they turn yellow they develop something I’m allergic to so I have to be careful. Im a sucker for strawberries. I’ll always eat strawberries. Like all of them. Holy crap I love strawberries.
I’m a bit of a corn snob. We grow our own and it’s tough for me to eat anything else. It’s just not the same. If I use store corn it is for texture the corn, the corn we grow has a really soft kernel structure. Like Hog I do a lot of Brussels if I can find decent ones. Green beans, peas, carrots, all good raw. I’ve taken to roasting broccoli and carrots and sprouts and sweet potatoes.
I just wish I had better access to produce. [Reply]

When the kids were still at home, a bundle of bananas would not usually make a day. Heck, unless I laid down the law, they might not even had made the car ride home from the store. They are an awesome quick snack. :-) [Reply]

Yep. Don't know where or when I saw it but man it makes sense. Actually took a banana for breakfast a couple days this week and did it the caveman way the first day then thought about it and did it the smart-man way the next day.
