nOnentime I was touring a tortoise-rescue facility, and the care giversnsaid that they always buy 19 or 20 different sorts of vegetables pernweek – whatever is fresh, rotating items purchased so that theynaren’t always exactly the same. That way, the turtles and tortoisesngot a balanced diet, overall. n
n
n
n
nWenhumans looked at one another and wondered why we didn’t do the same!
n
n
n
nInstead,nmost of us buy the same-old-same-old – a head of romaine lettuce, ancarton of cherry tomatoes, and a bag of baby carrots, say – everynweek.
n
n
n
nTakenthe day to try at least one new vegetable!

n
