Hi, I'm Broccoli!

Dear Pheonix,

It's me, Broccoli. I know we have had our ups and downs...but you should really reconsider throwing me under the dinner table. I know I look like a little tree, but you can still eat me! There are many good things about me. I am delicious with some melted cheese on top! When you get a cut or an owie, I can help you heal faster! Not to mention I am jam packed with vitamin K and C!

Hey there, Pheonix! Remember me? You used me as your snowman's nose when it snowed it Big Bear! I was freezing cold! I'd rather you throw me in salad or warm me up with a pot roast. Did you know I can be made into a cake too? See, I'm not so bad after all. I even can help make your eyes healthier so you can watch more Batman movies. I am also full of fiber and antioxidants. You may not know what those things are, but they are really good things!

Howdy, I'm Carrot!

No! I'm not white Broccoli, I am CAULIFLOWER!!

Pheonix, Buddy, how are ya? Remember at that birthday party you saw me on the vegetable platter and laughed because I was the only vegetable left? That really hurt. I hope you know that I am now used for many different things. They even make me into BUFFALO WINGS. Not to mention I am full of B vitamins and can help protect against cancer. Maybe next time you'll make sure I'm not the last one to leave the tray, huh?!

Hey pal, I know they took me off the shelves in the stores but I am back and better than ever! You usually ask mom to take me off of your cheeseburger and then I am left with ketchup all over me! Just wanted to let you know that I can help your bones stay strong, since I am high in minerals like calcium. I know you want to grow big and strong, so eat a salad once in a while, will ya?
