Our organic coop sells fresh juice with kale in it and you would never know... but a good way to still get some micronutrients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1283124 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 21:48:53 +0000 Sammyfab 1283124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I just googled it. :happy: </p> <p>You're correct...green beans are legumes that are considered vegetables because of their nutrient content. Corn however, is definitely a grain...we just eat it like a vegetable!</p> <p>We get the most amazing green smoothies from our local farmer's market. I wish I knew all of the ingredients in it (definitely spinach, cucumber and apple) because I think it would convert your husband! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282969 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 20:40:14 +0000 HLK208 1282969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: really? I thought green beans were a legume that was considered a vegetable! I read before that corn is a fruit rather than a grain or veggie so my husband argues that he does eat fruits and vegetables...pfft. I'm trying to get him to drink green smoothies. He says it's a texture thing that he can't stand, not taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282955 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 20:23:49 +0000 Sammyfab 1282955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: really?!!?! Not even carrots and potatoes?? I don't consider green beans (legume) and corn (grain) to be veggies either :happy: .</p> <p>Interesting article! I'm thankful my husband eats pretty well considering he was raised on meat and potatoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282954 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 20:23:28 +0000 immabeetoo 1282954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: that's funny. I hate all vegetables except sweet potatoes but force myself to eat most of them.... but I've never heard of someone who didn't like both fruit and vegetables! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282950 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 20:18:48 +0000 HLK208 1282950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: well, he does eat green beans and corn but that's absolutely it. I don't consider corn to be a vegetable! And he likes them from a can (gross). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282945 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 20:14:12 +0000 immabeetoo 1282945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: say what! strictly meat and bread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282739 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 16:46:18 +0000 HLK208 1282739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great. DH doesn't eat veggies or fruit, ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282729 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 16:39:21 +0000 katsupgirl 1282729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's certainly eye opening. It's always the mom so it's hood that they started looking at dads. Take some pressure off us moms! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-diet-may-affect-babys-health-too#post-1282641 Sun, 15 Dec 2013 14:55:36 +0000 immabeetoo 1282641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure what board to put this on, but I thought this article/study was really interesting! <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/fathers-diet-may-affect-offsprings-development-study-of-mice-suggests/2013/12/14/006834a8-644e-11e3-91b3-f2bb96304e34_story.html?wpisrc=nl_headlines" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/fathers-diet-may-affect-offsprings-development-study-of-mice-suggests/2013/12/14/006834a8-644e-11e3-91b3-f2bb96304e34_story.html?wpisrc=nl_headlines</a> </p>
