[FLPERMACULTURE] a curiosity in my garden

  "There are a lot of other fruit and vegetable varieties that don't have a 
deep dark rich color either, and if we removed them all from our diet it 
would make eating our veggies (which are the only food group that every 
diet plan in the world encourages) a lot less interesting. Take 
cauliflower, for example. Or spaghetti squash. Or mutzu apples. Or red or 
gold cherries. Or green lettuce. I just don't see it."

Good point. I remember Henry Munger, a highly successful plant breeder at 
Cornell, replying to the question "Which are the most nutritious 
vegetables?" with the quip "The ones that get eaten."
