While researching my ancestry, I read a personal memoir written by an early 1800's American settler in the Ozarks.

In describing his experiences he noted that "We always had plenty of vegetables to eat."

Many homesteads were on "40 acres and a mule". Along with chickens, a vegetable garden was just a part of day to day life.

Many new homes today barely have any yard, much less a garden.

And apparently, even less vegetables.

Here’s a look at the top 10 most popular vegetables among Americans:

Tomatoes                      89%

Cucumbers                   86%
Broccoli                         85%
Cabbage                        84%

And the most hated vegetables, according to the survey:

Disclaimer: I almost always have a small vegetable garden.

This year I still have Chard, Kale, BokChoy, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, Peppers, Sweet Potatoes, Eggplant, Rosemary and Basil... rabbits and gophers too!.

I even have hydroponic tomatoes growing in a spare bedroom as I post this.

I once saw some info didnt concentrate on it enough to register to memory,

the concept was, humans should not eat vegetables there are chemicals in them not

necessarily good, we are suppose to eat the animals that eat the vegetables.
