Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs green cabbage
2 cups water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 lbs potatoes, peeled & quartered
1 cup chopped leeks, white part
1 cup milk
1 pinch ground mace
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup melted butter
garnish, optional
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

In a large pot simmer the cabbage covered in 2 cups of water and the oil for 10 minutes (I do it longer). Drain and chop fine; set aside and keep warm.

In a small pot bring the potatoes and water to cover to a boil and simmer until tender. In another small pot, simmer the leaks in the milk for 10 minutes and then keep warm.

Drain the potoatoes and puree them into a large pot. Add the leeks with the milk and the cooked cabbage. Beat until fluffy. Season with mace, salt and pepper. Mound on a serving platter/dish and top with melted butter. Garnish with parsley if desired.

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.
