    If it doesn't give me 99% protection, it's not worth it!

    Wow, and next week they may cause blindness?

    And tomatoes.

    Make kale chips. You'll love them in place of potato chips. Really. When I make them, they are gone in one sitting. We fight over them.

    Wait! No tomatoes?

    The key to delicious kale is crunching it and rolling it in your hands (to break the fibers and let the tasty nutrients out) before you cook it (very light steaming is best (till it becomes it's brightest color); dont let it cook so long that it turns dark.

    Really? Eggs? Firstly, they feed the chickens flax to even have any sort of significant level omega 3, and to actually meet omega 3 requirements you have have to eat 5 eggs. 1000 mg of cholesterol anyone? The lutein also comes from the feed itself. A tablespoon of spinach has as much lutein as 6 eggs. Fruits and vegetables will help with eye health, a couple nutrients added to eggs do not make this food healthy.

    I just take 2 pills a day from a max supplement, has all the goodies from leutein to all the others...costs $55 a year, easy and fast. Ever smell kale or spinach after 2 days in the refrigerator?

    May, may and more mays. Every time I turn on the TV or log onto my computer I see that something may do this or that. May is most often the biggest lie in the media today. This may cure cancer. that may make me thinner and the law office of so and so may get my taxes reduced. The worst ones are the pharma adds. This may do miracles. That may cause death. I have come to hate the word may.

    Carrots are sweet and fun to snack on, so I tend to eat more.
  12. GraceNotes June 29, 2012 at 3:11 pm
    These are pretty much the same foods on every list of foods that are good for certain conditions. Now, if they could make kale taste like bacon ...

    This is good information. I need all of the help I can get.

    What about carrots? That's the absolute most obvious one.
  17. jefechip June 28, 2012 at 5:32 pm
    Yeah buddy, a good lager for sure! PEACE
  18. jefechip June 28, 2012 at 5:31 pm
    Swiss chard is off the charts for Vitamin K, more than even carrots. PEACE

    Yay! I love all of these foods :)

    Eye candy works for my eyes.

    Just bought some at the Farmer's market. Summer has a lot of advantages, especially the produce.
  23. Waiting for Something June 28, 2012 at 4:12 pm
    LOL. It tastes great on a sweltering day like today...and yes, I think it's the latter - things look better.
  24. Waiting for Something June 28, 2012 at 4:11 pm
    I sure do love kale. :)
  25. Johnny Galileo June 28, 2012 at 3:41 pm
    I'm surprise they left off beer. I always seem to see everything better when I drink. Or maybe it's that everything looks better? Whatever.
  26. Rapha38 June 28, 2012 at 3:39 pm
    I cannot believe they leave out Carrot
  27. frank day June 28, 2012 at 3:24 pm
    I can't believe they left off Blueberries. They should be #1 on the list.
