One advantage of moving back home to live with my parents whilst I get emot.io off the ground is that I have a little more time on my hands to mess around with food. A while ago a friend of mine lent me a wheatgrass grinder and some seeds after a late night drunken debate about heatlh foods. He's since buggered off back to Australia, so rather than chucking it out I'm going to get sprouting.

This guy thinks the results of my labours will be miraculous: http://www.energiseforlife.com/wordpress/2009/05/22/wheatgrass-health-benefits/. Wheatgrass, he says, has been shown to contain boat loads of vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and amino acids, which can combat cancer, strengthen the heart and even get rid of grey hairs. Yum.

This guy thinks that's all well and good, but the health claims made by Wheatgrass supporters are a load of crap: http://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/2005/04/wheatgrass_madn.html . 

Well , whatever, here's my wheatgrass on day 1 of its short life. 

I'll let you know if my grey hairs disappear.
