A very valid point. I don't think people make a serious effort to eat vegetables in a healthy way. Mashed potatoes? That's a vegetable serving. Broccoli that has been boiled for 20 minutes? Another vegetable serving. I bet most of these vegetable servings were in the form of some highly cooked and highly processed dish. How healthy is a salad if it's smothered in Ranch dressing? I could be wrong, but my observations strongly suggest that most people don't eat raw or lightly steamed vegetables

And you're absolutely right: some vegetables are a lot more beneficial than others. I bet most people eat the tastier vegetables (potatoes) while avoiding the healthier ones (cauliflower).
