Jlitvlnvla stated "Only Vegans will survive 2012". 2012? thats right I almost forgot thats when time stops, not the end of the world just when time stops. I got news for this person, the ones at the top of the food chain will survive not the ones at the bottom eating trees and grass. But I did hear that vegans are some good eating just a little boney.......................LOL!.

Tomatoe seeds can get trapped in the colon and cause diverticulosis. Especially in those fifty and over. All seeds from fruits and vegetables can be hazardous to the colon. Tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato juice are all fine ways to get lycopene. Raw fruits or vegs. often enouraged by heath nuts are never a good idea. Raw anything is bad, cooked is always safer.

Another cool plant to grow that is not edible but will make your heart smile is the TicklleMe Plant. This is a real plant that will close its leaves and lower its branches when Tickled. My students love them as we grow them indoors year round. I found a coupon code BLOG which will take two dollars off the price of your order. Its great for father's day, graduations and end fo the school year gifts as 99% of the people the recieve the gift have never hear of it. You can get your kit at www.ticklemeplant.com

The best way to get lycopene is to eat lots of ketchup on fries. For extra protein, fry them taters in lard.

Article said:Lycopene is what gives tomatoes their red color. But, according to an analysis of the heart study in Britain's Guardian newspaper, it's difficult for the body to absorb lycopene from raw fruit. Cooked foods are a better source of the substance, the newspaper said. So whats the point of eating raw tomatoes if you can't absorb their benefit?
