These GM groceries are not Frankenfoods any more than a person with a transplanted heart is today's Frankenstein. They are scientific creations full of both promise and potential hazard.

Wakame is popular in Okinawa and is readily available in most Asian groceries and international food sections of grocery stores in the United States. It comes in both wet and dry form. We recommend using the dehydrated type, as the wet variety is usually preserved with heavy amounts of salt. Look for dehydrated wakame flakes rather than long and wide strips, as they're easier to prepare and softer in texture. Wakame goes very well with cucumbers, which are mostly water and a good source of vitamin A and fiber.

Bottled or canned grape leaves are sold in Greek and Middle Eastern groceries, but if you have grapes growing on your property, you can use your own leaves as long as they are unsprayed. Fresh leaves should be blanched or steamed to soften them; canned leaves, usually packed in brine, should be rinsed to reduce their sodium content. Grape seed oil is a pale, delicate oil extracted from grape seeds. When refrigerated, it will not cloud, and it has a very high smoke point. Raisins are one of the all-time classic snack foods.

Perhaps Yunus is right that virtually any of us could successfully manage our own at-home weaving operation or a small stall selling groceries, but as Bangladesh becomes a more complex economy, so will the generation of small businesses. But more important, even if we all really are entrepreneurs trapped in wage-laborer bodies, does Bangladesh want several million Perdue Ladies? I think about the cruelty to animals and the harm to rivers and estuaries, and to air and earth that the waste of factory farming generates.

If I was forced to summarize the essence of good health into one simple sentence, it would be: "bring in the right groceries (nutrients) and take out the trash (toxins)." Each of the 60 trillion cells in your body is like a house in your neighborhood. You must bring in the right collection of essential groceries and remove the garbage often. Many cancer patients have erred at both ends of this equation: not enough essential nutrients coupled with an accumulation of poisons. Fortunately, humans are not "virgins" at exposure to poisons.

REPPED: People simply can't get adequate nutrition by going to a grocery store, loading up on healthy foods and chewing their way through groceries. Given the nutritional profile of today's foods, it's physically impossible for a human being to do so. To make matters worse, most people don't eat optimum foods to begin with. They eat foods that are nutritionally depleted. They drink a lot of cow's milk, which actually has poor nutrition for human beings given that it is designed for baby cows, not baby humans.

The greater the variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet, says Roe, the more interesting and nutritious your meals will be.

"It's always better to eat the whole fruit or vegetable instead of drinking the juice," says Roe.
