Just getting my lunch there and was thinking about the 5-a-day fruit and veg we're meant to get? Does everyone get them?

Me, i'm a big fruit man, could easil see my way thru a bag of apples or oranges in a day, plenty of veg for dinner and do my best at lunch, i'd say i'd clear 10.

Would be disgusted if theres anyone who doesn't make it on a regular basis

edit: hang on, do spuds count? I eat chips most days.

Everything in moderation, other reports suggest that too much fruit and veg can be as lethal as too little. Mind you, they do come up with a new cancer causing issue every second day these days.

You are actually supposed to have the ratio in favour of the vegetables due to the higher sugar and calorie content of the fruit. However eating a bunch of fruit is definitely a better alternative to scarfing down galaxy and bags of walkers. I guess it depends on what a serving of fruit/veg is. Id have a banana or two, an apple and some sort of veg with lunch or dinner most days. I guess I eat that much that my idea of a serving might be one or two real servings.

I know what u mean abut the sugar content of fruit, orange i always fell are particularly bad

Why the f**k would you be disgusted if people dont eat their '5 a day' .Worry about yourself and not others.

Get about 3 pieces of fruit a week. Get about 3 bags of crisps and 2 bars of chocolate a day though :-[

Have ye's tried them 'Innocence' Smoothies?

Just all fruit blended, lovely stuff

Have to say that i am generally not too bad at getting near to the 5, have a glass of OJ in the morning which counts as 1, a piece of fruit at lunch time, spuds and veg at dinner time and sometimes a nother piece in the evening.

But generally i will make 4-a-day which i think is good enough and try and stop the crisps and chocolate, although the crisps are worse than the chocs.

Did anyone else ever have the dentist come to their school and tell them that if they had a packet of crisps and a mars bar for break - to eat the crisps first so that they would get stuck in your teeth and not the chocolate (Which im guessing would be worse for the teeth if it got stuck)?
Or did we just have dentists like that around Tyrone. :-\

Thats a fairly narko post luder

What i meant was that in this day and age when there is so much emphasis on heart disease, odesity and all that people would be conscience enough to look after themselves

Would be lucky to get two, and that's counting spuds. And thankfully I'm not fat

Its 5 different fruits so 10 apples only count as 1
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.
