foodists
one day a few weeks ago i was doing my usual veggie shopping at the farmer's market in union square when i overheard a woman stating how glad she was that she was able to buy nightshade vegetables. when asked why she hadnt been able to purchase nightshade vegetables she replied that nightshade vegetables had been "out" when she had been living in l.a. oy vey. how someone could be so superficial to think of a vegetable as being "out" is beyond me . what could be "out" about an eggplant or a potato? what is this world coming to? littering , smoking cigarettes, noise pollution should be out , but a vegetable group?

Some people with arthritis find that avoiding nightshades helps them. I guess people in LA make this into a religion.
K, I'm gonna risk sounding really dumb, but what in the world is this nightshade vegetable? I have never heard of that before...
nightshade vegetables are a class of vegetables that are believed to grow at night. though these vegetables are healthy some believe them to make arthritis worse and others find that they bother their stomachs. nightshade vegetables include potatoes, (not sweet potatoes) , peppers , tomatoes and eggplant.
