Poem:

If you want Greens and Tomatoes? Maybe you should just get Green Tomatoes! Now they say Green Plantains are good Because they work your bacteria the hardest. Before they thought easy digestion was good - in a typical scientific flip-flop - now they say hard digestion is good for your gut. Proving the theory that the cheapest food is the best! Ten green plantains for a dollar. DS Poem July 1, 2018
