Suggestions for adding more produce to one’s diet recently appeared in the Baltimore Sun. These included replacing pasta dishes with meals based on vegetables, including spaghetti squash, which by sight alone can be virtually indistinguishable from angel hair pasta.

The Harvard University School of Public Health recommends that people of all ages consume a diet packed with colorful produce, which contains numerous nutrients essential for health, well-being and lower blood sugar.
