I've gotta get into Michael Pollan's books. My sister has read 2 of them and loved them. And now I keep hearing this quote from his new book Food Rules: "If it came from a plant, eat it. If it was made in a plant, don't." I think it's amazing how great the green smoothies can be...and so much easier sometimes than just chomping on a salad full of spinach leaves. Having more fun with my food than I have...well, maybe ever. Makes me happy. And yeah, the more plants we can add to the Standard American Diet, the better. That's why I was so excited last night to see Iron Chef America focus on using veggies from the White House garden as their "secret ingredient." Also, I'm appreciative of Michelle Obama's focus on food and health. Good stuff is going to come from that. Okay – you sealed the deal. I’ve gotta get into Michael Pollan’s books.

I'm not 100% nor do I intend to be, but I love these smoothies and sticking close to PLANTS. As Michael Pollan says the kind of diet that gets everyone in trouble is the one our country has adopted. We would do well to learn from immigrants to this country. When we get off this Western diet, our health improves rather dramatically! Hi Mona,
