Thornless Artichoke


A special variety of artichoke which was bred to have no thorns.  Our crop as show here have a beautiful purple cast to the leaves (even more so as they age).  This variety was hybridized in the 1970's at Stanford University.  The flavor is the same as with any globe artichokes but without the pesky thorns.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
