A Plant-Strong Pop Quiz from The College Greens!

Eating plant-strong is awesome. But it’s not just important to know what you’re doing, it’s also important to know why you’re doing it. Even though we all trust Rip and the many other doctors and scientists in the field, you shouldn’t just eat this way “because they said so.” Knowing the information and science behind your lifestyle helps give reason to your choices and keeps you motivated. When you know why plants are the powerhouses that fuel optimal health, you’ll never second-guess your decision to eat plant-strong.

So today, we’ve made up a little pop quiz for you to test your knowledge. Yes, the answers are available at the bottom of the page, but don’t cheat!! Take out a pencil and paper, and see what you can come up with. Then check your answers and see how you score! Take this as an opportunity to learn and grow as a conscious consumer of the plant-strong diet Good luck!!

lani

so where are the real answers?

  Posting them tomorrow!
http://twitter.com/JimmyRustick Jimmy Rustick

1. According to the Mayo clic, an egg has 186 mg and I saw where a big mac has 75 mg (wow, is that right?)
2. Never believe anything on the front of a package.
3. Casein

4. I found: cheeses are very moist, so you can usually divide the percentage of fat in two to get a sense of the overall fat content. That means a label of 45 percent m.g. is about 22.5 percent fat. Cheddar is around 70-75 % according to some other research. Therefore, which is right?

5. It all depends on if you or your spouse has it. That highly increases the risk of your children having it. But it comes down to maybe 1 in 2-7 will develop it.

6. 1375 give or take since I would imagine it would have to deal with the size of the olive.

7. Salt-Oil-Sugar Free

8. I think 80%

9. Grew up thinking false, but found out later it is true.

10. Broccoli

11. Changed to FLAX after watching the Engine2 and other documentaries. No longer take Fish.
