ROYGBIV-stolen from the WW boards

chicagochocolate · July 2009

So, "they" say that we should be eating the rainbow- i.e., have a wide range of colors incorporated into our daily diet to insure that we A) get all the nutrients our body needs, and

don't get bored! Over on the weight watchers boards (SImply Filling) this is a daily thread I've always loved, so I thought I'd bring it here! Just tell us what colors you've had today! (It's okay if you don't have something from every color). Also, the BIV tends to get lumped into once category.R: tomato salsaO: nectarine Y: bananaG: string beans (dinner), green pepper (dinner)BIV: black plum
