Angie: Oh please, what is there not to know about food in this food obsessed society? Can't you people write a decent article? To assume that people 'know' nothing is pretentious.
SSSF: Dianne - thanks for the great info! Some of it was new to me and some just confirmed things I had heard, so I appreciate it. Maybe you can follow up with an article about some foods that improve attitude and decrease negativity - perhaps there will be something to be learned for those who already know everything.
shakti: Alera, as you have a stomach ache eating apple and not mentioned other fruits which are also treated with pesticides you may simply allergic to apple which is very rare. i do suffer from it.

I love watermelon, broccoli, plums, corn, apples, cinnamon, and oregano. beef? eh. here and there but boy oh boy I have to start appreciating avocado. It looks better than it tastes :/ nice to have a list of what's most effective though :)
