Hate to say we told you so, but Bluedogs and I might have been right this time. This was on my Yahoo page this morning: http://www.delish.com/food/a43162/kale-poison-thallium/

did you want swap in the oreos now or tomorrow? :)

i knew this about broccoli also

maybe the american dinner table could try eating green ONCE a week instead of white three 21 times a week :)

I don't believe in super foods and I dont' take supplements -cook and eat everything across most food colors just about every week -i have no lists - but if I can work something from the ground in, I do just about at every meal - all the colors, not only green.

my recipes are wicked varied. I don't think you are going to keel over if you throw some green into a vegan stew, I promise.

Depot, I agree totally that it's all about variety. Eating Kale (or much of anything) three times a day, seven days a week, isn't going to be good for you. That's the whole superfood nonsense. This week it's kale. Spinach, chard, other greens are equally good, of course, but the k-word is the media darling. Before that it was blueberries, although blackberries, raspberries, etc., are just as nutritious.

Don't know what to think about the seaweed, Sally. Having not eaten meat or poultry for almost 40 years, I find the smell of bacon nauseating rather than appetizing.

well at least folks are talking about the existence of healthy foods rather than what to pick up today at panera or starbucks. all the food super obsessions don't come in a box. if they were waxing on about pretend healthy foods like kashi or something then I REALLY would be worried. but sense it is just the health weirdos going overboard think of it this way it balances the lucky charms commercials on kids tv programming this morning. better than nothing.

Kale and brussel sprouts, hard to handle. My wife uses the Vitamix to grind the Kale, Collards, and whatever else into an icy slushy, sounds really good :-), I have to drink it or suffer the consequences.
