If you don't like spinach, try a more nutritious lettuce like romaine or Boston...
What is known is that too much protein of any kind can leach calcium out of your body and that eating lots of animal protein usually means you're increasing your intake of saturated fat as well. "I don't believe any nutritionist would argue that 30% protein isn't a reasonable upper limit for long-term safety," says Roberts at Tufts.

While only a few kilograms were discovered, there was enough to kill scores if a bomb were set off in a confined, crowded space, a regional intelligence official says. Police also recovered 14 detonators and a volatile high explosive called pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or PENT, the prime component of the explosive in would-be bomber Richard Reid's sneakers. What worries terrorism experts is the possibility that a thwarted JI might turn to lone-wolf attacks like Reid...
