QSK reader Dixie sent in a great question:

Why is there an amazing dearth of green vegetables—other than nutrition-poor iceberg lettuce salads—at most fast food restaurants? I have noticed steam-in-bag vegetables in the frozen food aisle. Why can't these be adapted to quick-serve restaurants? The bags could be sized down to individual serving sizes, distributed in bulk to restaurants, and all that has to be done is to pop a little bag in the microwave and *poof* a healthy side item.

I agree.

It's time to explode the myth that no kids like green veggies. Baby A and her little friends—the majority of them, anyway—are big fans of things like broccoli, peas, edamame, zucchini, and otherwise colored vegetables.

So why not some little cups of chopped veggies? Or peas and carrots? I'd really appreciate having that option, especially at dinnertime. Anyone from the industry, or any parents, want to comment?
