Grandpa’s place, a blog, is running a three-part series on the 29 healthiest foods on the planet. (Though “on the planet” seems a little redundant, don’t you think?)

This is, if you’ll pardon the pun, good food for thought.

In other words, one tomato isn’t necessarily like another in its nutritive value.
