So I go into my local Booster Juice for a smoothie, because they taste good.
And on the counter it looks like they're trying to grow a little piece of sod (like pic related). The guy in front of me orders, and to my horror, the barista(?) goes over to the sod with a pair of scissors and cuts a chunk grass off. She jams it into a juicer and the guy gets like half an ounce of grass liquid in a little shot glass. He paid like 4 bucks for it too.
What the fuck did I just witness??
a wheat grass shot

capitalism you dumb shit
Why do people pay so much for pressed juice when they could put the whole food with all its nutrients in a $300 blender at home? Are they actively trying to avoid fiber?

See here: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/custom/900675/2 wheatgrass actually has a significant vitamins and minerals content. Contrary to your apparent belief, people don't eat only for the sake of macromolecules.

I bet you believe in acupuncture and oil pulling too mr chang

It contains some more recently discovered phytonutrients not listed there. Not nearly as much as a handful of whole greens. Much of the nutrition is pretty well attached to the solid bits that are thrown away for no good raisin.

Acupuncture is one of those mysteries where it actually works but with consensus on how
I mean even some insurances cover it

It's no more effective than acupressure.
I grow some wheat grass and make a smoothie with it sometimes, it looks nice.

Its a placebo effect that's positive, that's all, it doesn't fix anything, just makes you feel better about it.
