Who's Going to Win???

The body is an amazing thing, but it needs resources to work with, and ideal conditions. It's no secret, other than a lot of food benfits are hidden since food is cheap (relatively) and medicine is expensive. Even funnier is most of the foods with significant benefits are dirt cheaps (greens for example).

AG was promoting a drink made from greens as beneficial in preventing and healing cancer. There's plenty of evidence correlating the two, but he should have been advising people to eat their greens instead.

You're right on about the value of veggies/food. Both on the cost side and the benefit.
What's funny is those items are inexpensive until they become popular. Just look at bottled water and kale for examples.

Kale is free compared to the cost of other things in life like cell phone plans, cable and internet and so many fundamentally useless things in life. In life we'd all rather be lazy than healthy...which is why suckers line up for a green drink to cure cancer instead of living a healthy life. Certainly not all, but so much cancer is brought on by poor choices in life.

Yes but look at how the price jumped nearly over night once things like kale and bottled water became the next fad.

I don't disgree, but you are technically commenting on simple economics... Supply and demand principles apply to all aspects of life. Increase demand and prices will always rise unless regulated... but if you are really concerned about the proce of kale, I've heard it's easy to grow.

It is easy to grow - like growing weeds.
Actually, it is a weed.
