[MAD-AS-HELL]

take raw broccoli and wrap it in BACON! MMMM BACON!!!!

[mamelukesabre]

raw bacon?

[MAD-AS-HELL]

only problem is how much of the cancer figthing molecules does one need for it to be effective? In other words, eating cooked broccoli, even though it has reduced levels of the cancer fighting compoun, still might be enough to be beneficial.

That's 10% more sulfurowhazzit than I'd be getting otherwise.

Actually, it's a lot more than 10%.

You can eat more of the tasty bacon if you reuse the same broccoli stalk multiple times. You won't fill up as quickly.

Raw broccoli tastes better. Cooking ruins the flavor.
