Every Wonder Where Vegetables Come From?

History is eternally fascinating, especially when it concerns our food and its origins. Take some time to read about where some of the most popular vegetables in the world originated.

Meatless Monday?

October is National Vegetarian Month. So, whether you have a garden or not, here are a couple of things you can do:

• Pick one day of the week where all of your meals are of a meatless variety for the entire month.
• If that's too much, pick one meal where you will consistently avoid meat once or twice a week for the entire month.

You'll be surprised at the variety of things you can eat to help you avoid meat. And if you wonder why you should even bother, just remember that according to studies done by the Mayo Clinic and other medical research institutions, eating less meat has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic conditions.
