Eat your vegetables...



I went to the grocery today to pick up a few things.
I asked the 20something guy in the produce section where the leeks were.
"Oh, follow me" he says.
He walks me to the turnips.
I tell him, "Those are turnips. I'm looking for leeks"
He stares at me blankly.
I say, "They look like giant scallions"
Blank stare.
"...Like giant spring onions" I say.
Blank stare.

It's not the first time.
Feed your kids fresh vegetables.
There's no reason to get to 20something years of age and not know your vegetables...unless you've eaten out of a microwave all of your life.
