Now that I’m here all by my lonesome, I can finally enlighten the rest of the non-Colombia-visiting world about the very weird joys of the granadilla. See? They look perfectly normal like this! I’ve waxed poetic before about the plethora of amazing fruits that Colombia has to offer — the granadilla is one of these exotic delights (well, they’re not exotic here. As soon as you pop your thumb through the skin of the granadilla, you notice something peculiar about it: the peel gives way in tectonic plates of chunks, like Styrofoam. AHHH! The inside of a granadilla — the part you eat– is a slimy, dark cluster of seeds surrounded by clear goo that bears a strong resemblance to frog eyes, or what I imagine alien eggs look like. People sometimes talk about things being “an acquired taste.” Like this: Like Loading...

Healthiest Foods Out of Reach For The Majority of The Population by Natasha Longo, To say the cost of healthy living is out of reach for most people is an understatement. Low to middle-class subsets of the population have difficulty affording their own rent and mortgage payments let alone clean organic and unprocessed foods. Nutritionally sound chemical-free diets have achieved many distinctions to combat and prevent the most threatening diseases, but the question is can people afford them? If access to foods that are free from genetically modified organisms(GMO), pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical constituents are too expensive for most people then how is a society ever to attain and overcome health obstacles if these diets are only for the rich?

Fruit and vegetables are the key to happiness — News **Eating fruit and vegetables could be the key to happiness, according to new Warwick research.** A study into food and psychological well-being examined the behaviour of 80,000 participants in Britain and found a link between a high intake of fruit and vegetables and happiness. The results show that the ideal amount of servings each day is seven, two portions more than the current government-recommended number of ‘five a day’. The survey defined one portion of fruit or vegetables as 80 grams. Currently, only one in ten Britons manages to eat seven daily servings whilst a quarter of British people eat no fruit or vegetables on a daily basis. Economics Professor, Andrew Oswald and Professor Sarah Stewart-Brown, of the Warwick Medical School, conducted the research over a year-long period in conjunction with the American university Dartmouth. Until now, there has been a limited amount of research into food as a factor in wellbeing.
