Wouldn't it be easier to simply eat celery raw? I eat celery raw all
the time, I cut off the bottom white parts to eat raqw and the dark
green and leaves is used cooked or chopped into salads. This week
broccoli crowns are 99¢/lb. Nuked half to have with dinner last
night, the remaider will be left raw for a tossed salad. I will never
be convinced to juice produce, doesn't eating raw or cooked in soups
supply 100% of the nutrition? I know people who buy carrot juice and
have never thought of eating a raw carrot... carrot cake is more
nutritious and tastes better than carrot juice... a juicer removes the
fiber... then the imbeciles put it in the trash... at leat compost it
for the garden... oh, they are too unhealthy to maintain a garden.
