6. Broccoli - Are they really worth eating?

Ah, Broccoli. A kid's arch nemesis. It is almost proven a fact that all kids in the world agree, that Broccoli is a enemy without mercy. It'll prevent you from doing anything good! Want dessert? Eat your broccoli first. Want to play video games? Eat your broccoli first. Want to watch T.V.? EAT YOUR BROCCOLI FIRST!!! Now, whenever you are served broccoli, you may look like this:


Lets learn a little history. Broccoli originated from Europe, supposedly breeding off the cabbage(which I talked about a few posts back) and later mutated to what we know now as the broccoli. Yuck, mutated cabbage???


But cheer up! Your eating broccoli for a reason silly! Broccoli contains nutrients that far surpass many other fruits and vegetables. They contain vitamins A, C, K, and regular fiber needed for a healthy diet. A steamed bowl of broccoli can equal to 3-4 servings of fruits! No wonder our parents made us eat this stuff! As for Prevention, Broccoli's special powers help prevent specific cancers such as prostate, breast, and lung cancer for smokers.

Want to make a great tasting meal with healthy beneficials? Try the Asian Beef Recipe composed of broccoli, beef, and other asian spices. It's great tasting, and the spices make the broccoli just so much juicier, and tastier. I'd recommend this to anyone who just wants to try something new.





So remember folks, broccoli is worth your time, and mouth! Start eating more broccoli, and you can start pumping iron like this guy:

But, if your not ready to eat broccoli just yet, there's always a last resort....
