Pssst....berries (fruit) are much later in the OWL rungs

Celery. I can totally understand where you're coming from. How can one thing that looks like a giant toothbrush and taste like one, be good for you? lol. Do you like stir fry? Perhaps saute it with your favorite meats and seasonings. One thing I've learned....and it gets a little OCD...I "destring" my celery. It's something that I can do so the strings won't stick in my teeth like a red-headed hillbilly.

Best wishes.

You're welcome....trust me, the more meats and other veggies you put in the more you'll go, "hey, this stuff's not so bad after all!"

MOG, I think it was to go out to eat, lol
I agree with "If you don't like it, don't eat it". There are plenty of healthy alternatives to celery. Personally, I like it, but there really are many foods you can go for. Definitely read the chapters pertaining to whatever phase you're currently in. When I get tired of one thing I go back to the list of foods to find something i haven't tried yet.
