[quote=Anonymous]I read somewhere (maybe a NYT article) that you should strive for 30 different plants a week. I keep a list for each week in my planner and trying to get to 30 is surprisingly fun. I find myself ordering sides I normally wouldn't, opting to add an extra ingredient to a salad, etc. You have to eat a lot of plants to get there and I'm rarely hungry enough to also eat junk. I don't always hit the goal and don't punish myself when I miss it, but it's very motivating and positive. It's certainly easier in the summer when there is lots of good stuff in season! I count vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds. I usually eat a few kinds of onions and tomatoes each week but would only count each once. Different bean types I count separately though. I suppose it isn't an exact science but it works for me. [/quote]
