Who Put The Vegetable On My Plate

Recently I attended a backyard BBQ and there was a lot of good food on the tables. In addition to the burgers, chicken, pork and beef, there was fish, deep water halibut, Alaskan King salmon and something else, which escapes my mind, but tasted pretty good. I can’t ever remember fish at a BBQ before.

There were also many vegetable dishes, grilled vegetables, raw vegetables, and vegetable salads. There was a virtual cornucopia of fresh fruit too.

In addition, there was a first class selection of vino and quite a stellar cocktail bar.

I selected a little of this and that, and when I sat down with my plate I was really surprised to notice that my plate was a combination of pretty healthy food. I had pretty much the entire color wheel with all the fruits and vegetables.

I was hungry when I arrived, and polished off that first plate fairly fast and had a nice vino to boot.

Fairly satiated, I decided to watch what was being eaten by other people.

Most of the men stuck to burgers, steaks, pork in several forms, and potatoes grilled, baked, or potato salad. And of course dessert, pie, cobblers, cake, cookies, and ice cream.

Some of the women ate fish, but most of them ate the same as the men for the protein. They did hang around the raw vegetables and dips, but they didn’t actually eat all that much of it, instead opting for the casserole type concoctions.

They did eat more of the fruit than the men, but they also hit the dessert table almost as hard as the men.

When the party was winding down there were a lot of fruits and vegetables that were going to go to waste.

That didn’t occur on the dessert table, where everything was pretty much picked clean.

It occurred to me that this is pretty much how people eat every day.

There has been an awful lot of hooey written in the last few months about multivitamins and the fact that they don’t have any discernible effects.

Most of this hooey is written under the auspices of science according to the pharmaceutical companies, who know exactly what I observed; that most people just don’t eat the foods that they should to keep themselves healthy.

The headline of today’s blog came from a pretty big guy whose wife handed him a plate with a burger bun that had lettuce, tomato, and onion on it. His riposte, “Hey, somebody put a vegetable on my plate,” got a big laugh all the way around. Even from me. When I have a burger, I like it unadorned.

The reason I developed the Monster Multivitamin was because the truth is that we do not eat what we should often enough, even when someone else prepares it for us. We opt instead for the old favorites, which certainly are tasty, but leave us high and dry when it comes to nutrients.

That is what the Monster Multivitamin is for. It’s to replace the foods that are not being eaten on a regular basis. It’s to replenish a system that is vitally in need of those nutrients that we are missing by eating what’s easy and comforting, even when we know that it isn’t particularly good for us.

All the hooey in the press is because the pharmaceutical companies would like you to get on their program, which is drugs, drugs, and more drugs.

And if you don’t modify your eating habits in some way, they will get you sooner or later.

The Monster Multivitamin can restore a great deal of what you are missing out on by not eating the color wheel of fruits and vegetables.

It’s all-natural, and there are no side effects, except better health, which is a far cry from what the pharmaceutical companies want you to have, because that’s not good for them.

Oh yeah and by the way if you want to really up the anti-oxidant ante and get the benefits of wine without drinking any, add in some super Wrinkle Guard for dessert,

It's loaded with resveratrol and other natural anti-oxidants found in wine and numerous fruits and vegetables.

Definitely not for wrinkles only!

All the best,
Doc
