On the off chance that you still haven't gotten James's post, here it
is. He's right about the green itself not being harmful (but then he
seems to be right about a lot of things).
Thanks, Marie. It is now four o'clock and-a-half in Phoenix and I
have not received his original post yet. I did receive his later post
on canning potatoes. Go ponder.
It is almost always good to receive James' posts--on his good days.
But I digress.
To the question at hand. I long ago learned (back when I believed
words when printed) that apples contained a bonus of healthful
goodies just under the skin, contraindicating peeling. So I didn't
and I don't. It made and makes sense to me that the sun does good
things to plants that are often good for we humans.
I extrapolated this logic to potatoes and never peeled them. I got
joint pain. I stopped eating potatoes. I have now started eating
potatoes. I now peel them. But I don't feel good about it at all. So
I seek more information. Alas, as with much of our present world,
separating fact from promotion staggers one's synaptic resources.
