Eating whole fruit is unbelievably more healthy, cheaper, and simple than the convoluted process this product serves.
The time spent setting up this machine, throwing away the bags, electricity used, resources used, etc VS peeling an orange seems comical and sad.
- jandrese 9y agoTo be fair, the founder was much more into stuff like kale juice and beet juice than orange juice. Stuff that isn't particularly nutritious when eaten raw and unprocessed.
- ghostly_s 9y agoYou think the nutritional content of kale or beets increases when you juice them? Source?
- logfromblammo 9y agoThe effort to eat a bushel of kale dwarfs the effort to drink 1.5 juiced bushels of kale.
- blacksmith_tb 9y agoPerhaps, though steamed or fried it'd probably fit on a single plate... and then you'd get the fiber, too.
- jandrese 9y agoSupposedly cooking kale will destroy most of its nutritional value.
- jandrese 9y agoYes, because you're crushing up the cells and releasing the stuff our puny human guts can digest. Raw kale is mostly undigestible by humans unless you're willing to sit and chew on every leaf for a few minutes like a cow. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding the sources on this. All of this breathless superfood wankery is really polluting the search results. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/digestion-kale-11913.html http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/digestion-kale-11913.html http://gi-north.com/kale-good-for-you-and-your-digestive-tract/ http://gi-north.com/kale-good-for-you-and-your-digestive-tra...
