[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 372, member: 1"] [URL='http://www.awaken.com/2018/09/seaweed-the-superfood-that-could-help-fight-climate-change/'][B]Seaweed: The ‘Superfood’ That Could Help Fight Climate Change - Awaken[/B][/URL] Scientists, food companies and environmental advocates want you to eat more of the product ― sometimes more appealingly titled “sea vegetables.” But those who grew up in Western households may not think too highly of seaweed as a food. Jonathan Kauffman, author of [I][URL='https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062437303/hippie-food/']Hippie Food[/URL][/I], says that may be in part because of how Westerners were introduced to it ― as a health food eaten by “hippies” in the 1960s. “Seaweed never made much of an impression on the broader public, who mostly lumped it in with other weird health foods they were writing off,” he says. According to him, other than people who extolled the nutritional virtues of seaweeds, such as those who followed macrobiotic diets, sea vegetables weren’t much of a pantry staple. ”My guess is that the flavors were too oceanic and the texture too gelatinous for eaters who didn’t grow up eating seaweed.” [/QUOTE]
