I do believe you mean fronds and ferns.
Just to be technical, grass became widespread during the Cretaceous millions of years after allosaurs went bye bye with the Jurassic Period.
Whoa, but there's still Jurassic Park. Never mind.

I suffer from a habitual affliction in that my body and its remorseless metabolic workings reject any foods which do not contain a generous combination of salt, sugar, and fat.

I try to overcome said affliction with judicious drinking and the smoking of cigars.

At 72 I repeatedly exclaim - much as the man who had jumped off the 100th floor of the Empire State Building was heard to exclaim as he passed the 90th floor, "so far so good!"

cured my girlfriend of breast cancer with intensive use of wheatgrass juice...shrunk tumor 1/2 in three weeks...she chose to have the rest removed surgically....we do 2 ozs everyday...clear for 5 years now...in our late 60s....anyone can do this...it is not rocket science...

Thanks, Mike, regarding Vega.
First, I did not know this, but then I did not really research it. I appreciate the information. What it does for me outweighs the danger, at least until I die of tertiary coreopsis, or some other unnameable disease. I'll probably die from global warming first.

I already make the gin (from vodka and a recipe of botanicals.)

Interesting, I have heard of Against the Grain but not yet read it. My opinion only comes from a nutritional view, rather than an agricultural revolution view.

Crickets, yummy. I'm dieting, you can have my share.

Of course lettuce is no good. It's the only part of the salad that I like, although the BW insists on Romaine lettuce, while I prefer the old fashioned iceberg. I am sure you are right about my eating habits although I did exaggerate in order to make it more humorous. However, as vices go, there are some far worse than gluttony.

Of course there's the story of Jim Fixx, the guru of jogging for your health, who died young from an inherited heart condition. I worked with a young scientist who seemed incredibly healthy, with a lean, powerful physique, but dropped dead at his desk one day. The autopsy showed he had an unusual inherited condition that had rapidly aged his internal organs. Externally he looked good, but internally he was over 90 years old.

What's healthy to eat seems to be always shifting. Not too long ago, eggs and avocados were foods that were supposedly bad for you, but now are recognized as providers of vital nutrients. The famous food pyramid was constructed from studies of Olympic athletes, under the assumption that such robust, healthy people had to be eating healthy foods. Years later, we've since recognized that conditioned athletes need 3-5 times as many readily available calories than the average person, and that the carbohydrate-heavy pyramid is a formula for obesity.

Right now the best bet for a healthy diet is avoiding starchy foods, getting complex carbohydrates from fruit and vegetables, limiting intake of red meat and large predatory fish (they have high concentrations of mercury), and consuming whole grains. No guarantees in life, but it's important to know your family health history.

You can't "overcome" your inheritance, but you can improve your chances of a healthy life.

Iceberg lettuce, if I recall correctly. Is that what's happened to lettuce these days? Every adviser I consult says you have to get lettuce to get enough folates. Not many supplements contain folates. (I ought to know: I've become a walking United States Pharmacopoeia to judge by the number of tablets and capsules I now swallow with every meal.)

True enough, my meals are unconventional. Especially substituting carrot juice for orange juice. I do this to strengthen my natural immunity. I don't even bother with 'flu shots any more. With the result that seasonal viruses don't affect me nearly as severely, and leave me immune to repeat attacks.

So if someone comments about you being off your meds ... ;^)

Yes, CoQ10 is pretty interesting. I noticed an aerobic boost with it.

If the beer is home brew, there are great nutrients in the bottom of the bottle, so it is healthy when not overused. (It's also a way to shrug.) Wine has other health benefits in moderation.

It's always very low, below 150.

I know. It's not smart. I think it's crappy food loaded with sugar and salt to hide that. That's how I can get bag of 1200 calories for $3.50.
