    Greens are great! Collard, Mustard, Turnip, Rutabaga, Kale...oh and let's not forget their roots too. "A sip of pot liquor is the cure for what ails you".

    Don't forget brussel sprouts. - I love them, even did as kid. Most others in my life seem to hate them and I just don't know why.

    it is all about preparation! I think most kids have soggy, frozen brussels which is a bad impression

    I think that marketing those Quaker chewy bars and Nutrigrain bars, etc. as "health" foods should be a crime.

    so agreed! that goes for most of protein 'healthy' bars on the market too (it's as if slapping the word 'protein' on something makes the rest of the crap ingredients not matter...)

    My husband calls it a f---ing roadside weed that a badger or dog probably pissed on. And a few other choice remarks.

    Personally, I think Cool Whip tastes awful, and has a revolting texture. Usually, it ruins any recipe it's added to, too, for me; there's an occasional recipe exception.

    I get that others really like it, but I've never understood why. (I was 11 years old when it was introduced. It was immediately and immensely popular. Part of the reason was convenience, but a lot of people liked it. Originally, in my social set, people would still make actual whipped cream for holidays and special occasions as a topping, using Cool Whip in the more routine cases. Gradually, it replaced whipped cream on special occasions, too.)

    I did as a kid but not now at all. I prefer thick home made coconut whipped if any.

    I think ground pork is good because of the fat content. bacon and ham are good too... but I do not like pork chops or tenderloin

    I love pork chops and tenderloin (they tend to have more fat when purchased from a farm, IME, due to the different breeds used, but I also don't have some kind of blanket preference for fattier meat, depends on what I'm making). Having pork shoulder tonight, however. (Bacon and ham are tasty enough, but foods I don't have often and don't really miss.)

    For me ground lamb, ground beef, and ground pork are all good, and it depends on the application.

    what grosses me out about cool whip is the film of oil it leaves in your mouth

    Yes...it's been forever since I've had it - but was absolutely something I remember hating about it.
