Re: a question for you
 

oh nuts! I fell into the trap.. I thought this was a joke thread but now understand its a real dicussion about health and having whole carrots/not whole carrots..whats up doc?

Re: a question for you
 

If you just had one piece of cabbage/onion/carrot from a tub of coleslaw, I'm guessing it doesn't count as three of your five daily fruit and veg portions.

Re: a question for you
 

What if you just lick the mayo off the cabbage? :D

Re: a question for you
 

a bit daft you lot aint ya....i make mi own, half a white cabbage 2 carrots and an onion,all grated into a large bowl, with low fat mayo...it tastes 100% better than the shop bought crap, and its better for ya :D

Re: a question for you
 

five a day means either 1 apple , 1 orange, portion of veg etc...... up to five times,
I have 2 apples , 1 orange, veg with me tea, and a glass of pure juice, thats my five a day!:D

Re: a question for you
 

You missed teh generous grind of black pepper! :D

Re: a question for you
 

According to the Healthy Heart bods unless your apples are one red and one green/golden they only count as one! :D

Re: a question for you
 

mines part green and red! :D
does that count...?

Re: a question for you
 

I dunno - they never mentioned that option. :D

Re: a question for you
 

as I said, made up to make it sound plausible

Re: a question for you

Re: a question for you
 

omg if i reply to that one this thread will get sent directly to the 18 section :eek: :eek: :eek:

Re: a question for you
 

It usually says on the packaging. Unless you've made it yourself as Flashy does. But I would imagine that one portion of coleslaw = one of your five a day (although saying that how big is a portion???)

Re: a question for you
 

There' an extra benefit that come from eating things like cole slaw, cottage cheese, saurkraut, yogurt, etc. These types of items are filled with acidophyls (sp?) which are a huge boost to the good bacteria in the intestines. Helps us out in all kinds of ways especially with digestion and cancer prevention!
