[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the biggies are:

rice
wheat
corn
oats
potatoes
sugarcane
almonds
peanuts

then all the fruits:
oranges
apples
grapes
tomatoes
berries
bananas
pineapple
pears
lemon
lime

and the vegetables:
lettuce
spinach
onions
celery
carrots
green beans
broccoli
zucchini

If you want to count herbs:
cilantro
parsley
garlic

So that's about 30 and it's a pretty normal week.

You're counting sugarcane and herbs? Your kids eat lemons and limes?  Clearly you had to stretch and you still didn't get to 30. Do potato chips doritos count because they are potatoes and corn?[/quote]

I mean... yes?  I took OP's question literally - how many plants does your child eat? OP didn't specifiy healthy plants and I didn't assume this was a healthy eating question, just a variety of eating question.

The biggest food crops we eat in the US are corn, soy, wheat, rice, and I forgot about oils so probably rapeseed (canola oil).  And yes, sugarcane is a crop, it comes from a plant, so yes, I'm sure my kids eat sugar so does't that count as a plant they eat?

I mean - did you think OP was asking how many different types of VEGETABLES my kids eat? Because that's a different question.

And yes, my kids and I eat lemons and limes. They are plant foods. No we don't eat a lot of them, but we use them in drinks and in cooking, in sauces and pies too. [/quote]
