I thought of the current unpleasantness in Japan. Maybe some flaxseed would help combat the effects of the radiation they are suffering.
I immediately though of that as well. Fukushima is an argumentative topic on FR with a lot of opinionated blowhards, so I elected not to even bring it up. In any event, I believe God made all things for the use of man (in one way or another, and no, personally I don’t count “Roll it up and smoke it” as one of them), and I particularly believe that the full benefits of various forms of plant life have been largely undiscovered.
