I love both but if I can only have one, I'd go veggie...or fruit!

I love both but eat more veges. Can't beat a big salad with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, a squeeze of lemon and cracked pepper. Sometimes the kids have a competition to see who can find the most different veges chopped through the salad. Fun and yum!

Fruits taste better, as a whole, but I'm a veggie fan!

- According to a study the sweet potato has a tendency to absorb harmful gasses if not done properly due to which you can suffer from food poisoning.
