A future for super foods
Some negative people keep attacking super foods and David Wolfe saying: there could not be any use for super foods. Here is what I think: “Super” foods can be survival foods that we send to starvation areas. Grains, canned food and “super” foods can all be used as a last resort to avoid death by starvation. We should use for that the lowest quality foods to dehydrated and turn into dry powders and not our organic veggies. Let’s call it “starvation food”
Of course some super foods like colloidal gold, pearls solution, and velvet antler powder have no use even for starving people and need to be thrown away. I’m just trying to be constructive.

I like maca. It is supposed to be an adrenal adaptogen- good for balancing out stress. I have only taken small amounts so I can't say it has a strong effect or not.

I think some foods really are super! some are good and some bad. cacao = bad for alot of people but some other stuff david wolfe promotes that are whole foods not dehydrated ect are awesome. eg. chia seeds, berries, raw honey, aloe vera, seaweeds, jungle peanuts, tocotrienols just to name a few. super foods are just foods that are very dense in nutrients. i think some to add to the list should be greens and certain fruits.

Sweeping generalizations against "superfoods" do more to show your blatant bias than to reveal their individual merits.
Probably most people would agree that some are better than others, rather than dismiss them all as only "starvation food"
I do agree though that it's tempting to think that everything fits neatly into very black and white categories (ie: all fruit good, all super foods bad, all animal products bad, etc.) However, that's not reality no matter how much we wish it were.
Complexity rules and details matter. Reductionist thinking is for the weak or lazy.

Another great comment by telefunken. I agree wholeheartedly.

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.
It should smell ripe too.
pineapple eats everyone. Its true. Aloe vera water maybe?
Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
