Oh, why do you have to be in the habit of saying true things,

anyway? <g>

I have to say that from a CULINARY standpoint, iceberg is not

highly thought of. Though it does remind me of Napa cabbage,

which I love in kimchi.

All of which is to say: that is a great writup! Maybe I'll start

buying the stuff again, which will please my family immensely.

As near as I can tell from my readings, the best health foods are:

Any kind of green leafy stuff

Sweet potatoes

Dried fish

Berries

Meat (incl. organs, fat, etc.).

Heidi,

Are yams as nutritious as sweet potatoes by and large? And by sweet

potatoes, do you mean those yam-like tubers that have *white* flesh? I

really like yams (the orange flesh ones) and am even thinking of growing

some, but I might go for sweet potatoes if they are significantly more

nutritious. Although if I can achieve high brix with them I guess it won't

matter...

Getting a pig helps to use up all that pumpkin too.
