Cabbage and Sardines....well there goes the deep knee squats at the gym
So the flippin' NYTimes is spying on me???
We eat all of the eleven listed foods, except only the hubby eats beets ... I can’t stand those.
A pretty good list.
I’ve never thought of trying raw beets in my salads. That’s an interesting idea.

Basic rule #1 of nutritional science: If the kid or the cat can’t or won’t eat it, the sum total nutritional value is ZERO.
I’ve got to show this to Mrs. Vigilanteman. She runs me out of the house if she catches me eating sardines. I have to eat them when she’s not at home, wrap the empty can in a plastic bag and make sure it is outside before she gets home. I also have to brush my teeth well or she smells it on my breath. Especially my favorite kind— sardines packed in chili sauce.
Yuk..
Here’s my top 11:
1. Steak w/baked potato
2. Tacos
3. Cajun Fish w/Kale & Rice
4. Chile
5. Red beans and Rice
6. Pizza
7. Pork chops & steamed broccoli
8. Spaghetti
9. Beef stew
10. Ham & scalloped potatoes
11. Vegetable soupe with cornbread
Daggone, I’m hungry now. BTW, one can live a long healthy life using this list I’ve posted.
I eat 'em raw.
Totally agree with the list EXCEPT
I would add spinach and walnuts to ANY list dealing with nutrition.
Didn’t think beets were that healthy. The tops are, but didn’t think the red portion had much in the way of vitamins.
I hate cinnamon
Beets - no way. Sardines mixed with Mayo on crackers tastes great.
Beets picked the size of a golf ball, and pickled are good (grow your own, they don’t take long). Some of the rest isn’t too bad, but generally speaking, green leafy things are what food eats.
Meat.
More meat.
Meat of fish.
Meat of chicken.
Turkey, too. Year round.
Add some meat.
Pork chops.
Add the rest of the pig.
With a bit more meat.
And a dash of garlic. Meat-flavored, of course.
Most of the items are on our menu. We gotta have 1 or 2 veggies with every meal. Chard and beets are easy to grow in the garden. I got to admit that sardines were one of my guilty pleasures (that is I thought they were bad for me). Get the ones in olive oil and eat with saltine crackers. Ranks right up there with pickled pigs feet (which I am sure isn’t good for me).
Iron rich foods like spinach and beets are poison to adult males. We need to get iron out of our blood not into it. This is a well known fact.
Dedicating hours each day to acquiring, preparing, consuming, and cleaning up for the sake of the latest “good nutrition” fad is not my idea of intelligent behavior.
If “nutritionists” want to be of any use, they need to identify "good" tasty foods which real people can readily acquire and quickly consume with little to no preparation & cleanup time.
If "nutritionists" cannot identify such foods from what is currently available, then they need to work with and pressure the food industry to produce such foods. In other words, accept the reality that normal people live in a real world of limited time and deal with it.
Otherwise we're back to the same old routine of; “If it tastes good, spit it out.”
pinging for later.
Thanks for posting this!
