Reply: The point is to try and eat 7 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. The more colorful and varied in color, the better for you. Sometimes, especially when your traveling for business or pleasure, you don't have time to eat properly, so you order food at a fast food restaurant. It's good to know that you can get a veggie burger at Burger King (with all the trimmings), and feel like you're not blowing your diet. Also you're getting good nutrients and antioxidation protection from vegetables. The other point is that veggie burgers are not as high in total fat content and cholesterol. I'm not a vegetarian, and sometimes I just have to go for that juicy red-meat burger, but if you truly want to have maximum energy (fuel)and be healthy and not sickly -- well into your later years, then you have to start thinking about what you put into your mouth now.
