I think it is time to bring back Pee Wee’s Secret word of the day! Who doesn’t like a secret word…especially when that word is a healthy one 
Today’s secret word is VEGETABLE! I don’t hear this word enough, which probably means most people are not consuming enough of them. Below is a chart based on the USDA’s MyPlate that shows what the daily recommendation of vegetables is:

4-8 years old |
1½ cups |
Girls |
