Since June 17 was Eat Your Vegetables Day—and almost everyone has a favorite veggie, we wanted to know just what that veggie was. (If you’re like this writer, you like just about all of them, even brussels sprouts, but spinach is on the top of the list.)
Broccoli was the favorite of 56 percent; 16 percent said spinach, and eight percent said carrots. Twenty percent chose something else. Our editor said, “Peas! Regular green peas, snap peas, snow peas.” We’d have to agree with her—what’s not to like about peas?
Another follower said, “Way too many to list! But my top favorites are kale and all leafy greens, asparagus, broccoli, jalapenos, and other peppers, cauliflower, carrots, purple sweet potatoes, string beans, brussels sprouts, and snap peas. All organic, of course!” Well, of course,” we agreed.
For this week, we’re highlighting a recent study that investigated the glass ceiling phenomenon in O&P, where women, despite growing representation in the profession, are underrepresented in leadership roles.

Tell us what you think. We’d love to hear from you.
