COLESLAW

It is time to speak of coleslaw. This is a magic food, but like so many magic things it can both aid and harm, so Ned's readers must beware. Coleslaw has two attributes that should recommend it to all who are seriously concerned about their health: first, it is made of raw ingredients, so the antioxidants and other goodies are not degraded by cooking. Second, it is made predominantly with cabbage, both white and purple, and carrots, both of which are loaded with nutrient, low in calories, and are foods one can enjoy from conventional sources, since Ned is aware that not all his acolytes can always afford organic food. But cabbage and carrots have relatively low doses of pesticides. Moreover, they tend to be available year round. And finally, raw coleslaw can be purchased ready made: Ned is aware that it is much too tiresome to make on its own. Ned buys coleslaw from his local deli, where he knows the ingredients, and adds 1 part packaged coleslaw, Dole's or others, to 1 part premade coleslaw with dressing. Since it is the dressing that adds the calories, Ned believes that by cutting premade coleslaw with dressing, with raw coleslaw mix, he reduces the calories by 1/2 while preserving the flavor.
Ned also suggests that when dining out, his followers ask to substitute coleslaw for fries.
NEVER EAT FRIES UNLESS COERCED BY MALEVOLENT ALIENS AS A CONDITION OF SURVIVAL.
So eat more coleslaw, and stay healthy.
