Popcorn, Disguised

 The search for fibre producing nutrition is easy. AI haters step aside for this one. AI is information that's quick, easy to get to and of the most recent facts. Wanting to find out what foods offer the most fibre, I was surprised. If you dare to use your AI  mode on the computer or (yuk) cell phone, and simply ask questions on your mind, that is, if you can tear yourself away from emails, amazon or you tube, your curiosties will be enhanced megafully. Good old fashioned popcorn offers you more than a cob of corn. Why? Because the good stuff is in the whole kernel, not the glucose sweet piece that you rip off with your teeth from a cob of it. This is not the first surprise you will find about grams of fibre that keep your gut happy. You all know privately, how important those intestines are to your daily life and this includes every human that walks upon the planet and those who don't for their reasons. Kings, prime ministers, dictators, chiefs, managers,  lords and ladies, all depend on that tangle of tubular muscles "down there" to keep us happy and healthy and productive. You know what I am saying. It is so easy to keep that area satisfied and you happy. Don't go to the shelf in the drug store or the instant prepared foods section. Head for the fresh produce spot, the inexpensive for what you get, the market farm section if possible. Fibre? It isn't all bran and oatmeal folks, think about carrots raw, almonds, bananas, lentils, and cans of good old pork and beans. Those navy beans are loaded with good stuff. Today in my handly little ceramic hot pot that never leaves the stove except for washing the ceramic part, is loaded with a can of plain tomato soup that miraculously does NOT have MSG in it (check the labels for that stuff) with some water, onions, beets, carrots, onions, peppers, slip of garlic,  small sections of cob corn, tomatoes and floating on top a frozen piece of chicken thigh to add flavour. This pot will simmer away until dinner time when I sort through to remove any chicken bone or gristle, cut off the corn kernels sadly, and whiz the whole mess up with a hand blender. My dinner with some failed French Bread with the thick crust (because I was gaming on the computer and forgot the time) cut off, to be made into bread crumbs later on and the soupiest soup on earth. Or OUT of the earth. Want to cut your food budget, forget cans and packages and stick to the veg bins. Going to farms works best, and take the kids because some of those valley farms are better than zoos and the kids will learn where their food really comes from. And the air out there is fresh.
