12. Chlorophyll is the first food fad I remember

Well, remember reading about: in the 1950s manufacturers put chlorophyll in all sorts of foods and health products (in case people wanted to synthesize their own nutrients, I suppose); it did little except make things green.

I once heard an advertisement for a wheat grass drink that boiled down to "It tastes better than you'd expect it to". I feel the same way about green smoothies: if I want to eat kale and spinach and fruit I'll eat them separately and enjoy them that way, thankyouverymuch. And I prefer my algae in the form of nori, with sushi.
