[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids eat the same amount as I do. I guess it depends on what you count. As single, whole vegetables, we eat different veggies for dinner every night. Certainly have a salad at least one night with multiple vegetables. Snack veggies for lunches/snacks. And then all the vegetables that go into cooking our homemade dinners. Do we count legumes? Grains? Different varieties of veggies? If so, I think we do this without thinking about it. And most people who eat meals at home in a relatively healthy fashion are probably pretty close to that goal. Using a CSA helped us expand our vegetable palate.

It would be very common for us to all eat the following in a week:
carrots, [b]turnips, beets, radish, daikon, yam, ube[/b]
snap peas, 
cucumbers, [b]winter melon, kobucha, bitter melon, wax gourd, zuccini, snake gourd[/b]
cherry tomatoes, [b]all kinds of tomatoes[/b]

We eat a lot of vegetarian food in addition to what the pp wrote (bolded)  We are immigrants and we discovered various cuisines in US and so now we use a lot of those veggies too.  We buy from our local Asian, Indian and Latin markets - as well as grow some. [/quote]
