🚨 Breaking news: You’ve been murdering your salad. 🥗💀

Let me introduce you to Lamb’s Quarters (Chenopodium album)—the free superfood you’ve been calling a w**d!

Need to identify it? The Latin name gives you the clue. Chenopodium means goose foot, because the leaves look like tiny goose tracks. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

And see that white, dusty coating on the newest leaves? It looks like Mother Nature forgot to dust off the flour. That’s its signature! It’s a natural mineral-rich, waxy coating—not mildew, not disease, and not a reason to panic.

Now here’s where this little w**d gets cocky…

It’s bursting with vitamins A, C, and K, plus folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, protein, fiber, and antioxidants.

Store-bought kale: “Look how healthy I am.”

Lamb’s Quarters: “Hold my compost.” 🌿😂

The young leaves taste just like spinach—only free! My favorite way to eat it? Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil, toss in a few handfuls of Lamb’s Quarters until just wilted, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a shower of Parmesan. It’s also delicious in omelets, soups, pasta, stir-fries, or anywhere you’d use spinach.

Just remember: only harvest plants you’ve positively identified, growing in areas that haven’t been sprayed with herbicides or pesticides.

Turns out, one of the healthiest foods on Earth isn’t hiding in the organic aisle…

It’s been growing in your yard this whole time… and you’ve been trying to kill it. 🌱💚

Follow me for more herbal wisdom, wild foods, and the occasional identity crisis over what we’ve been calling “w**ds.” 🌿✨

Nutrition Myths The Experts Got Wrong, 2

I read widely.
Dr Jockers recently had this to say about nutrition myths.
I removed his references, and edited for length, and added [my comments].
It's long.
Here's part 2.
Part 3 tomorrow.

Your comments are welcome. But, please, mind your tongue.
It is not necessary to demean others if you wish to disagree with either Dr Jockers or myself.
Neither he, nor myself, are liars, stupid, or any of the other names you've smeared us with.
We are both doing our best to wade through reams of research, keep an open mind, and draw — sometimes startling others — our own conclusions.

"A reduction in saturated fats cannot be recommended at present to prevent cardiovascular diseases and mortality."

"Nutrition Myth #4: Avoid Saturated Fat
> Saturated fats are fatty acids with no double bonds between the carbon molecules. They are found in meat, dairy, and other foods.
> Many people, including healthcare providers, believe that saturated fats are unhealthy and can increase your risk of heart disease.
> The American Heart Association recommends limiting your saturated fat intake to avoid the risk of heart disease, weight gain, and other health issues.
> New research suggests that saturated fats are not linked to a higher risk of heart disease at all and may offer some health benefits.
> A 2010 study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, looked at over 350,000 people, what they ate, and the saturated fat content and found no relationship between the amount of saturated fat consumed and risk of coronary heart disease or coronary vascular disease.
> A 2010 Japanese study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, looked at 58,000 Japanese men for 14 years, and found similar results: no link between higher saturated fat in the diet and heart disease.
> Instead, they found an inverse risk: a lower risk of developing a stroke or a cerebrovascular disease with higher saturated fat intake from animal foods.
> A more recent 2025 systemic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials looking at 13,532 participants, found 'a reduction in saturated fats cannot be recommended at present to prevent cardiovascular diseases and mortality.'"

[I agree completely with these conclusions. I'm happy to say that I've never encouraged anyone to use vegetable oils. Sally Fallon — in her dynamite video "The Oiling of America" — lays it out very clearly: animal fats are healthy, seed oils are not. Olives, avocado, and palm fruits are not seeds. Their oils are the next best fat option.
< Butter is the super food of fats. Weston Price identified a factor in milk from grass fed animals — which he called activator X — that is critical for health. The story of his discovery, and attempts to categorize activator X, makes fascinating reading.

"Nutrition Myth #5: Eat "Low Fat" Foods
> Some nutrition experts go even further. They not only want you to limit animal fats and saturated fats but also limit your fats altogether. There are many low-fat foods on the market claiming to help weight loss and support health.
> These low-fat foods are ultra processed, often filled with refined sugars, artificial ingredients, and additives, all of which increase the risk of inflammation, digestive issues, and chronic health problems.
> The truth is, fat is not the enemy. In fact, ketogenic diets and other higher-fat approaches can benefit health. Healthy fats from pastured animals can lower insulin levels, stabilize blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, decrease inflammation, improve fat burning, reduce cravings, improve mitochondrial health, improve energy, increase mental clarity, and reduce risk of chronic diseases.
> A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 44 randomized controlled trials published in Nutrition Reviews has found that a ketogenic diet lowers inflammatory markers.
> A 2025 review published in Life (Basel) has found that ketogenic diets offer a complementary therapeutic option for those with neurological diseases. There are molecular and neuroglial effects on the neurons and glial cells which affect brain metabolism and neuroinflammatory homeostasis."

[< Butter is brain food. Especially in its stable form: ghee. It is a rasayana: a medicine that promotes healthy longevity and freedom from dementia. "Ayurveda considers ghee a rasayana, an anti-aging substance that builds and rejuvenates the body for longevity."

< Organic butter, please! Even better if from cows eating grass. That healthy cholesterol keeps every cell in my body flexible and strong. Cell membranes are 40% cholesterol.
< "Cholesterol is essential for the structure, elasticity, and healthy functioning of all cell membranes."
< And my brain, being 25% cholesterol and 60% fat, also thanks me when I choose butter.
> Low fat, no fat = low vitality, no longevity.]

"The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, very low-carbohydrate nutritional pattern that promotes a metabolic shift from glucose utilization to ketone production, supporting energy needs during carbohydrate restriction. The diet reduces circulating insulin levels, enhances fat oxidation, and induces ketosis, creating physiologic conditions that may benefit individuals with epilepsy, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain metabolic disorders. Originally developed as a therapy for refractory epilepsy in children, the ketogenic diet is now incorporated into broader clinical practice as evidence accumulates regarding its metabolic, neurologic, and endocrine effects. The diet's physiologic impact includes alterations in mitochondrial function, modulation of neuronal excitability, and changes in gut microbiota, all of which contribute to its therapeutic potential. Clinicians frequently encounter challenges related to patient selection, monitoring requirements, safety considerations, and long-term adherence, making a structured understanding of its mechanisms and clinical applications essential for optimal patient care."

May your meals be in beauty.
It is an endless give-away dance.
I eat you. And you eat me.
All hearts beat as one with the heartbeat of the earth.
All diets are plant-based diets.
Every breath connects us to the plants.
We are surrounded by green blessings.
