"A superfood is a bit like Superman… except it doesn't wear a cape, can't fly, and won't save your life.

The lack of a cape and an inability to fly should come as no surprise to superfood fans, but ardent eaters of goji berries, blueberries, acai, and kale might be surprised to learn that these foods, and other "superfoods" like them, do not magically grant health and longevity.

Fellow I knew said he made it through a semester of college with a hotplate and a hundred pound bag of potatoes.

Didn't say whether he fried or boiled although I imagine it was some of both.

Well, I'll eat fries, unlike Kale, so……
