You must understand that eating greens is important. All animal life springs from green plants. We get all of our basic nutrients, including a myriad of important
trace elements like iodine, copper and salt from green plants. The little fish eat the plankton, the big fish eat the little ones and we eat the big ones. The cows and, horses eat the grass and we eat them—thereby getting the needed nutrients.
Our corporate farms feed the animals too much carbohydrate like cereal grains and even animal byproducts.
In today’s world, we may need to add basic supplements like iodine to our diet in order to prevent thyroid problems. We can get these from the basic green plants—if we eat the buggers.
Why Eat the Greens
The great world of greens will lend body and soul
To aid and abet our quest for healthy eating
Loaded with cancer fighting phyto—nutrients
These lowly greens launched all animal life
Long time ago
Packed with energy, not starches and sugars
No calorie counting is needed
Heart healthy and cholesterol friendly
They help build strong bodies, muscles and bones
And
lower blood pressure
Packed with trace elements too numerous to name
Tiny natural combinations take place in chewing
Medical science is beginning to notice
Also our hundred billion cells cry for these
Additionally they each await
And hope that we drink from
This Holy Grail
Lurking in the produce section of our market
These denizens of the land of plenty
Misunderstood and shunned as unprofitable
By the processed food industry
Abandoned by the public
In favor of taste sensations in each bite
All food must be sugared, flavored and texturized
Two chews max, and it must slide
Down the hatch—value be damned
If we want to regain a healthy nation
We must return to a healthy diet
On greens we can depend
To keep us healthy
And be our medicine
Minimally cooked, on low heat
Preferable raw, is best to eat
As natural as we can obtain
Our health to sustain
