Title: Kale alternatives
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 10 September 2014, 22:30:00
To best put this....

This is by far the best vegetable in support of the Mechanical-Nature of ones bowels.. Mornings are a splendor...  :thumb:


However,  I find it to be unreasonably expensive for what it is..... due to the health food craze




Anyone else have any other fast-tracking vegetable suggezts ??

I juice almost everymorning for breakfast and i find organic spinach from costco much more stomachable  than kale.
ANd if you need to sh!t down and think about life, a little quinoa will do the trick eat that at lunch.

Here's a decent study from the CDC.

In essence, it should tell you that kale is just #hype.

ps: chinese cabbage (napa cabbage) is really cheap

The chinese cabbage...  Which one are they talking about...

The big white leafy one that's like the size of a basketball,  or the Thick greenish sturdy one that's about a football

I've had quinoa before,  the texture was a bit mushy,  ARE YOU SURE this doesn't turn into sludge in the stomach, thus hindering  MOTION...

Just recycle and eat your own poop. Cut out the middle man, and show big grocer who's boss.

**** Kale, eat more Kohlrabi.  **** is ****ing delicious.

And why not just do Swiss Chard or some other weird super irony leafy green.

limiting yourself to kale shakes is silly, theres a whole aisle of greens to choose from just grab everything, anything tastes better than kale... except maybe collards.

also if you're buying "asian" veggies in bulk, goto an asian grocer, save yourself the 200% markup.

kale is iirc high in iron. another great greenery that is high in iron is spinach. leafy greens are particularly good sustenance due to the production of good stuff by the efficiency of chloroplasts.

otherwise, plants are largely water and potentially fiber. root plants tend to be high in starch, as they are storehouses for growth of plants in high soil sustenance and low solar energy areas. in these situations, plants need more of a stockpile then plants that are consistently getting solid access to sunlight and water.

notice similarly that fiber tends to come mostly from the superstructures of chlorophilic plants. photosynthesis requires high surface area to absorb light. hence, chloroplastic freestanding plants must have large insoluble skeletons. root plants which have high insolubles usually do so to contain and compartmentalize their root systems and sugar storehouses. great examples are sweet potatoes, taro, lotus root, etc.
