Five or Ten a Day - do you?

At least we have a modicum of control over the veg we grow on our own plots! Wonder if I can grow 30 different veg/fruit/herbs to eat each week?? That'll be a real Challenge.

Yes you are right about the modicum of control but even open pollinated varieties grown by ourselves have toxins within the plant. The plants sole intention is to grow and set seed for it's next generation. It can't run away or fight a predator (which is what we are) so has developed toxins to kill or deter predators, killing them off either slowly or quickly depending on the plant! Some 'tasty'fruits are the exception which require an animal to eat them to spread their seed.
Apart from that how many people only eat what they grow, not many I would think?
There is a food war going on out there and in my view a ketogenic diet, using either animal based products or if need be unprocessed plant based products is the way to go to cut down on obesity and all the nasty life shortening diseases that go with it.
