Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day

Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day is celebrated on May 21. This is the perfect time for the availability of all our favorite fresh fruits and vegetables. We believe including fresh fruits and veggies in the diet is necessary for a healthy life. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day is dedicated to a cause. The increase in obesity and lifestyle diseases among American people is a major concern nowadays. This is a day to remind us of the importance of fresh food, which helps us lead a healthy life.

History of Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day

Ever wondered who started the cultivation and farming of vegetables and fruits? We only have a vague idea about the start of cultivation. We know we used to forage for nuts and fruits as far back as 1,00,000 years ago. During that time, our ancestors observed that the seeds they threw away created new plants.

The understanding that we could manipulate plant growth was perhaps one of the greatest discoveries of the ancient world. Most scientists agree that proper cultivation started only around 30,000 years ago. Initially, farming was a concept associated with grains and cereals. However, the practice soon expanded to include fruits and vegetables as well. Fruits and vegetables are good sources of necessary vitamins and minerals.

There are records of Romans using greenhouses to cultivate vegetables and fruits. The vegetables and fruits available nowadays are different from their ancient counterparts. Selective breeding for nutrition and edible quantity changed the shape, color, and even the taste for the better. But today, the trend has changed as we all opt for fast food.

This decision contributes to the obesity crisis and the formation of deadly lifestyle diseases. The growing number of people affected by unhealthy eating caused the Dole Food Company to take action. They created this holiday to educate the world about healthy eating and spread awareness about conditions such as obesity.

Why We Love Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day

It can reduce the risk of various diseases

Vegetable and fruit diets are cruelty-free

It can reduce our carbon footprint

This is not a secret, but a non-vegetarian diet can cause numerous health issues. Diabetes, heart attack, stroke, obesity, e.t.c. are all companions of meat consumption. Adding more vegetables and fruits can help reduce these health conditions before they manifest.

There is a long battle raging between vegetarians and non — vegetarians. A vegetarian diet is relatively less cruel as no killing or maiming is involved. A major argument is that plants are also alive, but plants are not sentient like animals and do not feel the same kind of pain. So it is a relatively cruelty–free diet.

Meat production negatively affects our environment. It is a demanding process and needs a lot of water and food. The byproducts can add to the greenhouse gas emission and thus to global warming. The same amount of investment in cultivation can yield better output and reduce carbon emission.

Hunan-Style Chicken This easy chicken dish is flavored with honey, sherry, soy sauce, and Chinese bean sauce, along with fresh ginger, garlic, and scallions. Chopped dried chiles give it spice.

Another funny food / language phenomenon.

I think everybody already knows the "chicken-fried chicken" thing, right?

You start out with fried chicken as a concept. Then you want "that, but with steak". As a matter of practicality, you need to pound the steak flat (to tenderize and to allow it to cook through before the batter is at risk of burning). By convention, this comes to be served with gravy. What you have now is "chicken-fried steak". Now, suppose you want "that but with chicken". The result is not the regular fried chicken you began with but rather gravy smothered fried chicken cutlets. Hence, "chicken-fried chicken".

Anyhow, Hunan has something called "chile-fried chiles".

Hunan Chicken

Ingredients

▢1 pound chicken thigh skinless, chopped into bite sized pieces

▢1 tablespoon almond flour or cornstarch

▢1 tablespoon oil

FOR THE STIR FRY

▢1 tablespoon sesame oil

▢2 cloves garlic minced

▢1 tablespoon ginger minced

▢3 cups broccoli chopped

▢1 large bell pepper chopped

▢1 medium zucchini chopped

FOR THE HUNAN SAUCE

▢1/2 cup chicken broth

▢3 tablespoon soy sauce

▢1 tablespoon fish sauce

▢1 tablespoon white vinegar

▢2 tablespoon brown sugar

▢2 tablespoon chili paste I used sambal oelek

▢1/2 teaspoon cornstarch or xanthan gum

Instructions

Make the Hunan sauce by whisking together the chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, white vinegar, brown sugar, chili paste, and cornstarch, and setting aside.

In a bowl, add the chopped chicken and almond flour and lightly mix together.

Add the oil in a non-stick pan or wok and place over medium heat. Stir fry the chicken until mostly cooked, around five minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.

Add the sesame oil and when hot, add the minced garlic and ginger and stir fry for several minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and cook until mostly tender, around 3 minutes. Add the chicken back to the pan, before adding the Hunan sauce. Let it bubble and thicken for several minutes, before removing it from the heat.

Im here to ask the current three evil guys whats their ideal take out order or like...whats just their lazy night food?

hmmmm for weasel i'm gonna say his favorite take out is like... something really basic like a sesame chicken or hunan beef

cylion strikes me a a chicken chow mei kinda guy... yeah. he likes chow mein noodles.

for persep...i feel like there used to be a right answer but right now all i can think about is he probably really likes to order out some indian dishes... samosas.. he likes those.

how dare you make me humanize these beasts

[dearbisexual]

kind of disappointed with the hunan chicken, there are no water chestnuts to be found (i think the online menu might have out of date info) and the sauce is kind of meh. i liked the snow peas though they had a really good texture

5. how accurately is your country depicted?

(For Canada) He fits the global stereotype but, like some people have pointed out, I'd have expected him to be a bit more rugged and woodsy loll the amount of people I grew up with who just hiked and camped and mountain climbed and hunted all over the place all the time every weekend 🤯 I'm also from Alb*rta though so my opinions basically mean nothing! Now that I'm living in Ottawa for school, I think Canada should've been meaner underneath his veneer of shy politeness (noah fence to Ontarians I'm just not used to how you guys interact with each other kdjslhgf)

(For China) Hmm this is a difficult question ngl LOL there are some things that I was super pleasantly surprised about, Hima once said he made China more cold and cruel/intimidating seeming but after meeting actual Chinese people ended up making him more cutesy, I think the affection for pandas and hello kitty and cute things is accurate, these things are popular in China! I like that he's a little bad-tempered and irritable with western countries and the way he's proud and overbearing and clearly ancient both in a humourous grandpa way and in a serious and slightly tragic way.

However, parts of his characterization bother me a little... low-hanging fruit, but I hate 'aru' deeply and with a passion, whether or not the concept of Chinese people saying 'aru' really did come from the colonial era, it's just tired either way and I cringe whenever I hear it. I don't love how clumsy and stupid he acts, like I think it's cute in an isolated way, but in the greater context...

Ultimately, I don't think it's horribly egregious. A lot of Chinese and Sino diaspo fans enjoy his character and/or have interpretations that still clearly have their roots in canon, and I'm personally fairly satisfied with it. Oh, and one thing I loved is how originally all of the provinces were supposed to be their own characters who live in China's house! I wish Hima had brought that up more than once, I love that idea.

7. food-related headcanons?

MAN ok hmm! China has 8 great food regions, Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Szechuan and Zhejiang, and I'd imagine he can cook them all, but as Han Chinese culture has always been more concentrated in the vaguely more Southern regions, I'd imagine he'd prefer relatively more Southern food... dishes from Dongbei and Inner Mongolia, the north, in general, all have heavy influences from Mongolia and northern groups, and tend to be more wheat, butter, and milk heavy. and I'd imagine he's lactose intolerant and prefers rice LOL although he still enjoys Northern food that he can digest! For an example, breakfast.

I think China likes to make food from scratch sometimes taking days at a time to cook, but also enjoys instant noodles (though he modifies them and adds eggs and veggies) and pre-made food but he would never admit it. This is based off of canon, but he also likes fusion food and international food! Hotpot with cheese-filled rice cake and fried chicken, salmon sashimi was popular in parts of China for a while recently iirc, he's just a big foodie who likes a variety of flavours. He's very adventurous.

I think he likes to cook most of his meals but goes out for breakfast a lot, before a meeting or while out on his morning walk he just swings by one of Beijing's many breakfast stalls for a doufunao, some youtiao, shaobing, some doujiang, etc. I can't speak on Southern breakfasts, but when he spends time down there, I imagine they would also have a lot of cheap and fast breakfast shops, though the food is very different.

General headcanons: I think when he's tired he just gets a flavourless bowl of congee with some salted duck egg for breakfast, and that when one of his kids are sick he makes them steamed eggs and boiled pear soup. He has a strong grasp on the different elements of food in Chinese medicine and can integrate it into his cooking easily! He also makes his own xiancai (pickled veg) and has a doujiang machine for homemade fast soy milk. His cabinet filled with spices and vinegars and chili oils and cooking wine and so on and so forth is this huge walk-in closet of a place organized with homemade labels and filled from the top to the bottom. When he cooks, he has several stoves going at a time, frying and boiling and steaming and chopping all at once, before celebrations like new years he spends days in the kitchen. The only thing he doesn't make from scratch himself for celebrations are dumplings, while he's working away everyone gathers around the cleared-off dining table and Macau shapes the dough and they all make dumplings together and Hong Kong puts weird fillings in some dumplings as pranks and Taiwan folds them into cute little animal shapes and fills them with brown sugar.

I have a lot of things to say about food but if I say anymore it'll turn into a book, so I'll leave it at that for now hehe maybe I'll make a proper post on it's own sometime!

36. if you could, what event would you host?

Hmm maybe one for OCs, or minority/native culture OCs! I don't think it would get enough traction, but I'd also love to host a China based event LOL I just don't think there would be enough people to participate :')

[compassionatereminders]

What’s your favorite Chinese food item? I like beef with the mixed vegetables. Hunan beef. Won ton and hot and sour soup and sweet and sour pork. Kung pow chicken is also good.

I love the little spring rolls with sweet chili sauce and the chicken sticks with peanut sauce and the duck dish with noodles!
