Time to Vote
Don’t worry; there are no pregnant chads (or hanging chads, for that matter).
.
Should the next month be…
…1. “Hug a Vegetable”
(to promote/celebrate eating the recommended 5-9 servings per day)
.
…2. “Hug a Veg Protein”
(Robert’s list of vegetarian high-protein foods would come in handy here/to show it’s easy and yummy to get enough protein in a veg diet)
.
…3. “Hug a Fruit”
(to pay homage to nature’s candy, an also to dispel the myth that fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and pineapples are bad for you due to their high sugar content)
.
…4. “Hug a Dessert”
(to show that one can—and should—make room for treats in a healthy diet)
.
I have a few more ideas, so if none of the above sound intriguing enough (or if you’d rather be surprised), vote for:
…5. “Surprise Me”
Or actually, how about “Hug a dessert…for breakfast!”
Hug a fruit, por favor :).
As Cynthia and others voted, I also love the idea of hug-a-pet month! But food-related, I would vote for veg protein. I’ve just recently become a vegetarian and I’m still struggling to make sure I eat enough protein – I’d love to see what all your readers recommend!
I like the veggie protein! I know I’m always looking for new delish ways to get protein and maybe we could even convert a few people in the process with this one because I know that was one of my main concerns 🙂
fruit, since i just bought 80 lbs of local strawberries today! although you might want to discuss that those tropical fruits take a LOT of fuel to get all around the world to please us, so i encourage everyone to eat those bananas, pineapples, mangoes, etc., in moderation…
Hug a vegetable for sure! I think I already have a plan for my photo…
I’m jumping on board with the fruit hug voters!
I’m loving summer berries at the moment so hug a fruit day sounds good to me!
How about hug a salad? To prove that salads don’t have to consist of a bowl of spinach but that they can be filling, delicious, AND actually serve as a full nutritious meal.
otherwise i’m down with hugging dessert 😉
Aww, thank you for the award. Everyone had such great photos.
I like the hug a pet idea! Otherwise, hug a vegetable. Or hug your farmer’s market haul? Granted, our local farmer’s market doesn’t start until July.
I vote for ‘hug a potato’. They are totally misunderstood and underappreciated. Poor little potatoes.
“hug a grain”….quinoa, buckwheat, bulgur…so many…soooo good ! 😉
Excuse me, but I want to hug desserts…all of them.
I say hug a dessert because so many people assume a healthy diet means endless salad after salad and dessert is “bad”!!!
i vote hug a vegetable month!
Hug a Fruit!
