Green leafy vegetables are good for one’s body. That’s what I learned from my elementary school science teacher who also required us to write down on our weekly meal chart the vegetables we eat. Whether or not she read all the entries in the said chart, the point of the matter was, we were forced to eat vegetables and our parents were forced also to prepare vegetables in our table. Back then, our backyard had an abundance of different varieties of vegetables planted personally by all of us in the family, although some vegetables just sprouted from seeds thrown. There was no need for the family to buy vegetables in the market.
Now that I am living in the city with my own family where space is very limited, there is no space for vegetation.
