THE STAR SCOOP:
Hi Jennie.

JENNIE GARTH:
Hello.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Thanks for being here. I wanted to know what your thoughts are on doing a Web series versus being involved, you know, in a TV series and kind of what differences there were or if there were any differences involved in this project from other projects you’ve worked on in the past?

JENNIE GARTH:
Well this Web – I’ve done Web series that were purely for entertainment. I did one other Web series, it was for entertainment. But this was more of an educational angle. I thought it was a great way to sort of partner NBC up with Hidden Valley Ranch and not only advertise the product but at the some time teach people some valuable information.

So I was excited to jump on board and sort of be the vegetable spokes-lady, you know. And I learned a lot along the way. And it was very easy filming it. It was something that wasn’t a huge time commitment for me. And it was quick and voila, now it’s on the Web and it’s going to be reaching just thousands of people and it’s going to be teaching so many people about vegetables that they – these things that they didn’t know and different ways for moms to get their kids to eat veggies.

THE STAR SCOOP:
And so you mentioned all to of times also that…fresh vegetables are really important and everyone knows that…coming out of the ground they’re a lot tastier. Not everyone…can get them right out of the ground. So what’s the next best thing?…Should people only get fresh vegetables? Is it okay to go with frozen or canned vegetables?…Where does, you know, all of that stand?

JENNIE GARTH:
Sure. I think, you know, I would definitely check your community, search for farmer’s markets. So many areas are having these farmer’s market or maybe there’s like a little farm stand in your town – I have that up in a town that I visit – where they just sell vegetables on the roadside, you know, that they’ve picked out of their garden.

That’s something you can do if you live in a really rural area. I would say – and my personal choice if I can’t get fresh I usually go to frozen next and my last resort would be canned. I think that, you know, that – I don’t know – I don’t love canned vegetables. And I don’t feel like I’m eating anything when I’m eating them so that would be my .ference.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Yeah. Well they lose a lot of their nutrients so…

JENNIE GARTH:
And they’re mushy, it’s weird.

THE STAR SCOOP:
Thank you so much.

JENNIE GARTH:
You’re welcome.
