Well, yeah… But while it probably means 100g of whole artichoke, that’s about 1 pretty small artichoke or half a larger one… but it could mean eating enough to get a 100 gm serving of just the edible parts, which would take several artichokes… Or maybe eating just the hearts from a can.
It’s like the corn… An ear of corn is quite heavy. 100gm of corn including the cob is maybe half a very small ear… But I’d bet they mean 100gm of kernels, like a serving from a bag of frozen corn.
I’ve seen other charts like this, too…. but it seems kind of silly to worry about the protein in green vegetables and mushrooms.
You do need them, and lots of them, for vitamins, fiber, antioxidants and other health benefits… but if their 2 or 3 grams of protein makes a difference, you’re really not getting enough high protein food!
100g is almost a quarter pound. Easy to eat of peas or Brussels sprouts, but that much spinach, kale, or mushrooms is a lot.
I’ve read that after age 50, protein needs actually go up… very roughly, you need a bit more than 1gm per kg of body weight, which is over half a gram per pound… So if you weigh 175 pounds, you need about 90-100g per day. You can see that 3g from string beans isn’t that significant.
But for those of us lucky enough to live in a so called first world economy, we tend to get plenty of protein anyway.
100g of chicken or beef gives you than ten times the protein of broccoli, about 30 or 35 g, and cooked beans about 15 g… But you tend to eat more than 100g of beans.
Eggs and cheese and peanut butter also have way more than green vegetables… I didn’t want to say per 100gm, cos you shouldn’t eat 100g of those, yet you still get far more protein from one egg or an ounce of cheese than from a few mushrooms in your pasta.
So yeah, eat a pile of green vegetables… and fruit… please… but for the right reasons.

On her way to an ATM?
Did she really want to go out in that weather? Probably not. Ya do what ya has to do, so they can do what they has to do-do.

So nice and clean, with elegantly dressed patrons. I wonder what this station looks like today.
Fire and collision proof is a bold claim. Of course neither has proved true
Not so very many years later, as the system grew larger, there was one of the deadliest crashes in US transit history, in Brooklyn.
My dad was born in Brooklyn, in 1917. He was a baby when it happened, huge news, and my grandmother never let him take the subway, as a kid.

I am a big fan of the “have two large dogs with you” technique.
So you need two big dogs or one tough granny.
Preferably Scottish.

Did he really go back, or did they reverse the frames?
Looks like he went back to me.
Yeah, I think you’re right. The effort of getting his shoulder through isn’t so obvious on the way back.
Huskies are escape artists.

If you’d been around in my family’s house growing up, you could never forget…

Looks weirdly like creamed spinach.
I guess I spent too much time on the vegetables, below.
Sure looks like trees sticking up there out of the dunes.
Yeah… I almost forgot that it’s not.

find 3 hearts
Got one.
Um… yeah.
But, sorry… it’s not part of the solution.
No, sorry… that was the other one….
There’s been little mix-up between two puzzles.
The three hearts one, which we did awhile back, got labeled “find an apple”…. and I corrected it
This is the one that’s supposed to say “find one apple”.
Found AN “apple”…
Yup. AFAIK that’s the one!
The two cacti scared by the dead cactus “ghost” is pretty funny.
sorry!
before I posted it, I saw one heart and figured there’d be more ..maybe a green heart or blue …
guess not.
S’OK… Partly my fault
.
Where are the artichokes?
Just for you, I looked… about 3g per medium artichoke.
No idea what that means “per 100g”, cos I don’t know whether they’re weighing the whole thing, or just the tiny edible in part.
Same with the sweet corn.
The ‘per 100g’ would be the serving size.

Not that it really matters… 😁

Some people have real fun with their hobbies (don’t forget ctrl +).
Nice work. They even had the skydiver steering.
Nobody asked that plastic guy if he was having fun!
Or if he wanted to leave a perfectly good airplane…!
