Time Magazine recently put their ‘Healthiest Foods’ list online. Their website moves like molasses, (which, by the way, is not on the list), so I’ll post the foods here for you. No big surprises. For each food they have a recipe, too, but I didn’t look at any of them because their tortoise speed seriously annoyed my internal hare.

Kale
Salmon
Walnuts
Pumpkin
Apples

At this very moment, I have all the healthy foods except kale, walnuts, kidney beans, eggplant, and bulgur. But I also have mini marshmallows, bacon, smoked gouda, chocolate Malt-O-Meal, and enough peanut butter to keep a dog licking his nose into the next millennium. And don’t get me started about what’s in the liquor cabinet!
How many of the healthiest foods do you have right now? What’s the least healthy food in your house?
