Q1 Can fruits replace vegetables in ourdaily diet? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked at Hospitals Sat Althoughfruits and vegetables have many similarities, fruits cannot replace vegetables. Fruits are mainlythe fruits and seeds of plants, while vegetables are mainly the roots, stems,leaves and flowers of plants. There are many morevarieties of vegetables than fruits. In terms of overall nutritional value, the nutritionalvalue of fruits is lower than that of vegetables. Most vegetables,especially dark-coloured vegetables, are much higher in dietary fiber,vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals than fruits. Many fruits are sweet and are much higher incarbohydrates than vegetables. Fruits are about5 to 15 percent carbohydrates, while vegetables are less than 3 percentcarbohydrates.

To maintain a balanced nutrition, WHO recommends that eachperson consume 300 to 500 grams of vegetables and 200 to 300 grams of fruitsper day. Q2 Can dogs be evil? I love animals and Ihave never known a dog like this, he never greets happily, and he gives me aside long glance that looks really condescending! All other dogs I've knownlove me, including ones in this household. A2 Claire Jordan Degree in biology andfolklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Sat No, dogs can’t be evil, but they can be insane.I’m not suggesting this dog is. I suspect what thisdog is, is an adult. The main mechanism of domestication in dogs is neoteny, the persistence of juvenilecharacteristics into adulthood. We’ve bred them to be puppyish anddependent, but some breeds are less puppyish and more like grown-up wolves, so you have to win theirfriendship. And when you have it they will be polite grown-up companions,not doting, needy babies. Q3 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India: What is thefamous food of Mumbai?

A6 Stefan Hill Updated Thu I talked to my greatgrand mother, born 1907 about diapers. When she had small children she lived ona small farm with 4 cows. The farm was not big enough to support a family soher husband had to work as a lumberjacker between Christmas and Eastern. It meantthat she was alone with her children and the cows. Diapers were made of cotton and were washed and reused.She washed them in a huge iron washing pot. No problem. You just made a fireunder it. And you had to carry water to it in buckets from the well. It workedjust fine. Perfect for boiling used diapers. There was however aproblem. If the winter got cold, and temperatures down to -30 C is normal innorthern Sweden, you could not do the washing outdoors. She solved it by moving the potinto the cow house. The cows heat the cowhouse by their bodyheat so that itdoes not get freezing cold. The problem wasthat washing diapers over open fire caused a lot of steam. The cowhouse wasfilled with steam. Everything turned wet. You had to open up and let the steamout. But you could not let the cold air cool the cowhouse down under thefreezing point as it would turn the steam into water and the water into ice.She said that it was a problem. She preferred to wait with the washing untiloutdoor temperature was above 0. Unfortunately temperature can stay below 0 formonths. I wondered how shewas able to take care of her infants and the cows and everything else allalone. She laughed and explained that she was not. She had a helper,. It was normal to have a youngwomen or a girl hired to help a mother when the man was away. Shehad herself worked as a helper to a mother in need of help before she became amother herself. That was how you learned she said. If you were luckyyou had a lake close by. NOTE: You mightconsider it a misery to have to use fire wood to heat the water in a pot whereyou boil used diapers, but she was actually enjoying a modest wealth. She had ahouse of her own, a barn, a cow house and an almost limitless supply of woodand water. Poor people, like industrial workers would live in a crowdedapartment and would in a best case scenario have access to a washing house.They would have astonished by the luxuries available to my children’s greatgrandmother.

Q10 Do Japanese people typically makerice fresh for every meal or do they make large batches every day or two sothat it can be eaten cold or reheated later? A10 Hantani Sadahiko Lives in Japan (1967–present)Updated Mar 21 Japanese cook rice for each meal.Rice that has passed a long time loses its flavor. In Japan, "making someone eat cold rice(冷や飯を食わせる hiyameshi wo kuwaseru)" is ametaphor for treating someone coldly. Even in Japan, whenI throw away rice, God gets angry. I cook something and eat it.I'll haveOchazuke or fried rice for cold rice. "Ifyou throw away rice, God will punish you and you will lose your sight."says the parent. Japanese areeducated by their parents to "take good care of your rice.".So"step on the rice with your feet" is torture against the Japanese.asmuch as an Italian saying, "I'm going to put pineapples on yourpizza."
