As with everything, don't knock it till you've tried it.

Plus, it's not to try and live to be 100, more about trying to be a bit healthier. I used to eat too much meat (I think), this is just an alternative to having to chomp through loads of fruit and veg. Eat healthy through the week then Sunday eat as much roast dinner and all the rest as you can!

I got my smoothie maker out today for other purposes. I may leave it on the work surface and start chucking stuff in it. I guess I can just bung sugar in it if it taste likes garbage. If the worst comes to the worst I'll just make a steak, pork scratchings and kebab smoothie.

I'm with you on that one.

I'd rather have a happy life, and smile every day rather than feel like i lived to 100 by having to do stuff like that.

I'm sorry, did I say I don't smile every day or have a happy life because I bought a juicer and make the occasional veg filled juice? Nope. Who wants to live to be a hundred anyway??

what if you live till 90 in either instance but in the one where you don't drink juiced veg you spend the last 20 years hospitalised?

If you've been drinking liquidised garlic and onion you certainly won't be snogging any saucy nurses in your hospital I know that much!

I thought the recommended intake was 5-portions? http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/5ADAYhome.aspx

Easy to do if you think about it. Glass of OJ at breakfast = 1, bit of salad at lunch (say a whole tomato in your butty) and a piece of fruit = 2 then two veg at dinner or one veg and fruit for desert = 2 more, total five a day.
