Are You A Veggie Hater?

Vegetables are one of those foods people either love or hate. The problem with hating our green friends is if you aren’t eating vegetables, your diet’s lacking in fiber and antioxidants. Like Mom always said, “they’re good for you!”

So what’s a veggie-hater to do? Play the happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic’s new food game, ‘Serve, Taste or Trash!’ and see if other people share the sentiments about similar fruits and vegetables. You might be surprised by the results. In the game, you’re given three choices of fruits and vegetables. You must decide which one you’d serve, which one you’d taste and which one you’d trash.

Before you decide to “trash” a veggie for good, why not try to eat it raw? Raw veggies can be more appetizing than their cooked counterparts to people who aren’t crazy about vegetables. The flavors of raw veggies can be milder than those of cooked ones. And the texture is crispy, rather than mushy.

Mr. Divabetic is the happy host of Diva TalkRadio, a free online and mobile podcast channel, where tens of thousands of fans, followers and listeners turn to laugh a little and learn a lot.

Whitney Houston-inspired ‘It’s Not Right But It’s O-Kale’ Recipe

Whitney Houston‘s death was a huge blow for music fans worldwide, but the iconic singer is not forgotten.

Divabetic believes the superstar’s legacy serves as an amazing source of inspiration for women living with diabetes to stay healthy and upbeat about their self-care.

“We feel Whitney songs and films can inspire the inner divas in women living with diabetes to make better choices about food, fitness and self-care,” says the happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic.

Throughout Divabetic’s free podcast, Diabetes Roundtable Inspired by Whitney Houston, there are plenty of references to Whitney’s hits to celebrate the singer’s spirit in a upbeat and healthy way. The song, “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay” is playful changed to “It’s Not Right But It’s O-Kale” to help sing the praises of the vegetable,  kale in the show’s popular segment, Food Aisle Face-Off with Judi Wilcox, RD, CDE.  Judi is a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator, food stylist and herbal tea manufacturer. Here’s Judi Wilcox’s recipe to you celebrate the ‘The Queen of the Night’ at your next meal:

It’s Not Right But It’s O-Kale Recipe by Judi Wilcox RD, CDE  for Baked Kale:
