  • jonesy: spinach
  • me: is there some sort of "thing" going on with it and salmonella?
  • jonesy: it is the #1 agricultural product to cause salmonella poisoning
  • jonesy: because they fertilize it with shitty water, so fecal bacteria gets on the leaves
  • jonesy: thanks, corporate farming
  • me: note to self: wash spinach extra good
  • jonesy: I'm just not gonna eat it. Switch to broccoli!!
  • me: but but biceps!
  • jonesy: Popeye was from a more innocent time
  • me: broccoli is fascinating, because it and several other vegetables are just different parts of the same plant, just bred to enlarge one part.
  • jonesy: what!!!
  • jonesy: you are destroying my understanding of nature
  • jonesy: I thought they just grew like that, cut-off stumps just directly on top of the dirt
  • me: I'm about to blow your mind
  • me: same species: broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, cabbage, brussel spouts.
