As an example, the iron content in spinach in 1948 was about 50 times what you get today. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hi. (still no emails). Anyway, this morning I went to my breakfast place and brought a little bag of sprouts (as requested) for my waitress. She smiled and said: " Oh you remembered " I said " of course " I then gave her the little bag of sprouts. A man sitting on an adjoining table looks and says " What is that? " and the waitress replies " Oh Melody grows her own sprouts and she brings a little bag here every morning and puts the on her sandwich " He then says " oh, wow you grow your own sprouts??? " and I said " sure, lots of good stuff in them, lots of anti-oxidants, and I began a short dissertation on the benefits of sprouting. Guess what he says? " You grow your own brussel sprouts, WOW, but how is that healthy to bring them for breakfast? " After bringing my head off the floor (and not laughing out loud), I politely said " NOT BRUSSEL SPROUTS " He said " But aren't brussel sprouts, SPROUTS??? " I said " let me explain " . and I did He got it. He said 'oh, the stuff in the salad bars and things like that, OH MY GOD, YOU GROW YOUR OWN???? Well, that began another lesson on buying organic sprouting seeds online. I don't expect I changed anything about their eating habits but boy did they get a lesson on organic sprouting seeds and sprouting. lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
