Our food choices are influenced by age, gender, friends, family, cultural background and where we live. Early childhood experiences with food can be traumatizing (who liked liver and onions as a kid?), but if you decided never to try something again as an adult, then you might be missing out on some truly nutritious and, perhaps, delicious items. We avoid certain foods for a number of reasons, but sometimes it’s for the wrong reasons.
Science may have given it a bad rap (we already went through the ups-and-downs with butter, wine and chocolate), or it may taste or look gross (the thought of eating insects might repulse most North Americans, but in some cultures, they are considered delicacies). But it's time to put your prejudices aside, have an open mind and give these 50 healthy foods a chance.

There is no such thing as food that is “healthy”. Every body is different, with different needs. What might be healthy - and necessary - for me could be toxic for you.
There are, of course, foods that are unhealthy across the board: all packaged food, low-level baked goods, sodas, ice cream.
Whats corn smut? Corn porn? :-)
Try adding a little mild Chili sauce to the Avocado.”
That might make them a little palatable. They do not go well with scotch, however, so years ago I had to make a choice and the avocados lost.
Somewhere there’s a web editor who thinks someone wants to go through 50 panels to read an article.

No chocolate chip cookies, root beer sodas or ice cream? You’ve got to be kidding. Why bother?
What a lousy list, it started out promising with beef and bacon.
Kimchi pizza! Awesome!
Mushrooms, who needs to ingest fungi?
Corn smut is the black/gray, bulbous, fungus that grows on corn of all types.
Just peel them and leave them out on the counter for a couple hours, the color will change :)
I think I’ll stick with tater tots. :-)
I always wonder how hungry the guy was that decided to eat the black fungus growing his corn. Or sea cucumbers for that matter.

Somewhere there’s an idjit.
Those “click thru” websites? They’re cheap and tawdry, pretty much an indication that the webmaster/designer isn’t very high on the creativity scale!
I almost always bail as soon as I see one...
"Gimme sum of your tots Napoleon!"
LOL!
Avocados are good with lemon, salt and stuffed with shrimp.
And to think, 150 years ago food coloring was made of Red Lead or white lead.
