    But not if you're going to eat it immediately after!

    you shouldn't chew it either? i mean, just think of the crushing and mangling that happens there.

    That's okay though, the escaping nutrients will be trapped and just slide straight down your throat...

    Just make sure you breathe in, and not out, while you chew.

    As long as you chew with your mouth closed. Open your mouth and all those nutrients will rush right out into thin air, omgzzzzz!

    Oh gosh, you're both so right - I'm glad you guys were here to catch that! I always chew with my mouth open, I'll have to retrain myself now... ;)

    So what happens to the nutrients when the wind blows in a garden?

    Well, if it's just blowing the plants around then they might be okay... but if it's battering them against a tree or fence then they'll be completely useless for any edible purpose. Probably no good for compost either, no nutrients left in them...!

    You get really bloated when you eat them and fa*t out all the nutrients.

    It's *kitten*. Actually the more you can damage a vegetables cell wall the more likely your body will be able to digest it and in return absorb more nutrients from. Ask your coworker what level of nutrition.
