OMG! I should not have read this! Like I don't dare open that thread on pillow ecosystem either. I'd never get to sleep.
No wonder my grandmother always cooked vegetables to death. Literally. Nothing of value left. Have you ever had spinach or turnip greens boiled to death? With fat back (salted pork)?
I think I should do the same. Imagine what's available in raw, organic vegetables. I don't care how well we may wash them, their will always be something strange left over. Maybe there really is something comfortable about irradiation. What a sad situation.
