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
