There's an "official instincto line" to be had so far in 1997?! :/ I could only offer that a lot of sweet fruit may make the leafy greens more attractive to taste, simply to get at the minerals missing in the fruit. When we were on largely fruit in Bangkok, we feasted (upon return to the states during the summer) not only on RAF, but on veggies as well. STILL, the local tropical veggies were very bitter and we soon didn't much bother testing them. Hmmm...Ever hear of "Kirt's veggie conundrum"? I don't get it about veggies... Cheers, Kirt
