Wheatgrass is indigestible to humans--
you have to juice the blades and drink it.
It's dark green and it tastes awful
but has an abundance of vitamins, minerals, enzymes,

Personally, I can't get past the taste.

This month: the swine flu 'epidemic'
"How to Profit Off Swine Flu"
What a mindset. :(


Notes for next week:
