History of National Eat Your Vegetables Day

The history of National Eat Your Vegetables Day starts with an awareness of nutrition and the role it plays in a healthy lifestyle. Vegetables have always played an important role in the lives of humans, all the way back to when we were simply hunter-gatherers. Vegetables were one of the hallmarks of civilization, and are arguably the reason we settled and stopped being nomads, we couldn’t travel anymore when we planted our crops, we had to be there to tend them as they grew.

As we cemented our ability to produce them they stopped being an opportunistic part of our diet, and instead became a foundation part of our culture and cuisine. As time went on we established that there were benefits to eating them, better health and growth, but it wasn’t until much later that science confirmed what we already knew. Vegetables have evolved and developed over time, and this is something that you need to think about moving forward. They have become such a hugely popular part of mealtime experiences that it is vital to embrace every part of National Eat Your Vegetables Day as much as you can.

Eventually, it was established that yes, they were a vital source of nutrients that were hard or impossible to get from an animal source. These nutrients can help to prevent heart disease and decrease bone loss, offset diabetes, and even improve the health of your hair and skin. It is so important to be able to make the most of this, and you need to understand how important it is to be able to eat vegetables on a much more frequent basis right now. Do what you can to take things to the next level, and this is something you are going to have to keep focused on where possible.

JOKE OF THE DAY

WORD OF THE DAY

chimeric

MEANING:
adjective:
1. Made up of parts that are very different.
2. Fanciful; imaginative; illusory.

ETYMOLOGY:
After Chimera, a fire-breathing female monster in Greek mythology who had a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail. From Greek khimaira (she-goat), ultimately from the Indo-European root ghei- (winter), which also gave us chimera (literally, a female animal that is one winter, or one year old), hibernate, and the Himalayas, from Sanskrit him (snow) + alaya (abode). Earliest documented use: 1655.

USAGE:
“And yet ‘The Snow Leopard’ manages to convey the impression of being subtly yet fundamentally about its stated subject matter, albeit in some chimeric way -- part literal, part figurative.”
Kathryn Schulz; Cat Tales; The New Yorker; Jul 12, 2021.

This is a strictly mathematical  viewpoint and it goes like  this:

What Makes 100% ? 
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? 

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving  more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings  where someone wants you to give over  100%.

How about achieving 103%?
What  makes up 100% in life? 

Here's a little  mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions. 

If: 
A B C D E F G H I J  K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 
is  represented as: 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14  15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26, 

then:  
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% 
and  
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E  
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%.  

But 
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E  
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%   
and,   
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T  
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%.   

And look how far ass  kissing will take you. 
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G   
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7  = 118%   

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while  Hard  work and  Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, but it's  the Bullshit and Ass  Kissing that will put you over the  top!

Easy math riddles: Crazy 8s

Using only addition, add eight 8s to get the number 1,000.



Answer:

888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000. This is the kind of number riddle you can work out with times tables, or by simple logic. First, get as close to 1,000 as you can (888). From there, it’s easy to figure out the rest.

thanks, Kris
You can use 'ice breaker questions' to build a rapport, enabling strangers to engage in back and forth conversion. With a little practice and possibly a beer or two, you’ll be breaking more ice than the Titanic.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The ultimate sense of security will be when we come to recognize that we are all part of one human race. Our primary allegiance is to the human race and not to one particular color or border. I think the sooner we renounce the sanctity of these many identities and try to identify ourselves with the human race the sooner we will get a better world and a safer world. -Mohamed ElBaradei, diplomat, Nobel laureate (b. 17 Jun 1942)
