Stop eating Green Veggies!

This is just an FYI to stop eating your green leafy veggies. Using the incredibly sound logic of the Paleo diet, green leafy veggies should be avoided. As the #1 culprit of food poisoning, it doesn't matter if you personally have never suffered from food poisoning from green veggies, the fact that some people have is enough to recommend it to be eliminated from your diet.
Also they should be avoided using the same logic as avoiding aspartame, HFCS, added sugars etc, completely throw out all context and dosage and avoid them due to their nitrate content, since nitrates have been linked to cancer and we all know if something is linked to cancer it def. is the cause of it. Correlation = causation also see increase in grain intake and the obesity epidemic.
So if you care about your health, you'd best be avoiding green leafy veggies due to food poisoning risk and nitrate content

You forgot to use the sarcasm font. Not everyone here understands satire.0

Green veggies are obviously of the devil and should be avoided at all costs.0

I'm going live life like a crazy coaster and eat a salad with supper tonight. I like to walk on the wild side.0

Guess I should go put down my spinach salad and go get a candy bar instead. :laugh:0

That would be prudent as spinach is very high in nitrates, cancer is no laughing matter0 -
you sarcastic?0

I should send out an email to all my vegetarian friends. This is something they should know!0

Good now I have information that I can use when my mom makes me try and eat them. Yuck.0

You can't tell me what to do :laugh:
my mother told me to always eat my greens and I always listen to my mother.
Off to steam my cabbage :drinker:0 -
I am surprised by celery being high. It makes sense but I never thought about it.0
-
I'll risk it.0

All the top oncologists will tell you to stay away from aspartame, HFCS, added sugars. It absolutely feeds cancer in our bodies. I like to see what they have to say about green veggies though. I'll ask mine in a couple weeks and report back. Thanks for posting!0

Blast it, you have now alerted the world to my slow suicide plan and I will have resort to eating my big@ss salads in the closet like I do my bacon.0

Don't crumble bacon onto your salads or you'd be consuming waaaaay too many nitrates in a sitting0 -

Do you think adding celery to my big@*kitten* salad with bacon crumbles will help...since they are negative calorie foods? Doesn't that cancel out the nitrates?0 -

While yes it is a negative calorie food, it won't cancel out the poisons you're releasing into your body. Best to eliminate salads from your diet0 -
I guess I'm a goner, too. I pack the spinach into my morning shake every day. It was "knowing" you all0

OP, please post this trolly, sarcastic *kitten* in the Chit Chat board.0

"As the #1 culprit of food poisoning, it doesn't matter if you personally have never suffered from food poisoning from green veggies, the fact that some people have is enough to recommend it to be eliminated from your diet. "
You made me laugh! You tell veggies are BAD when you probably follow a diet full of flesh of dead animal (or as u like to call, meat), which is the most acid and carcinogenic type of "food".0 -
Can you make sure they put "Suicide by Spinach" on my grave?0

I really hope you are using satire in answering back to him?? :noway:0 -
Not kidding here. But I do recall preparing some veggies in some way can increase nitrate levels to unsafe levels. . Learned this from a baby nurse who was giving a seminar on homemade baby food. Something bout steaming something and storing??? Damn I need to google this as I cannot remember.0

Why so mad bro?0 -
How do the statistics of deaths from homegrown greens vs. store bought vary? Does soil content affect the nitrate levels?0

Yes soil content varies nitrate levels, type of fertilizer etc. Also hot house grown veggies in the winter seem to have higher content than other veggies0 -

yeah, me too cuz ain't giving up my spinach0
