Did you know? Orange vegetables like carrots and pumpkins are rich in vitamin A, which supports healthy eyesight and strengthens the immune system. Eat colorful vegetables every day! #gardening #environment #climatechange #fruits #solarpunk #mastodon #today #foods #pumpkin

@Timothyswallehz@mastodon.social pumpkin soup is now one of my most regular meals. It is easy to prepare and I can eat it with bread. Simple meals = less time in the kitchen

@Timothyswallehz@mastodon.social They still taste great, but vitamin A helping eyesight is (mostly) a WW2 propaganda campaign to help hide the development of radar allowing Brits to target German planes at night.
