i view my diggles (DGLs) = (dark green leafies) like the meat of my diet

is that about right?

Have you read Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko, in which she recommends rotating your greens to avoid specific alkaloids building up? The ideal thing is to have a place to grow your own selection of greens, and find ones you like out of the vast numbers that can be grown.

Will you get sick without them? Depends upon how long you've been detoxing and totally raw. if you're not totally raw, or eat a lot of raw fatty stuff, you may need more greens than if you were eating low fat with lots of fresh fruit. I can go without much greens in the summer when I eat mostly live fruits, but need more in the winter when I eat more fats, and raw, but not living.

You could grow something like barley grass using dilute seawater to infuse with minerals. That way you'd not need other greens. Also, if you do more sunbathing you might get by with less greens..... it's partly a sunlight-chlorophyll thing and partly a healing power of greens thing. Greens help with hydrochloric acid production.... without which it's harder to digest things. Also greens are relatively high mineral.... eating more dulse might make it easier to cut back on greens.

There's lots & lots of varieties of edible greens that are not grown for market, which i hope to learn about myself and grow year round in my smallish greenhouse I just built. Fresh greens are far more potent than store-bought.... so you wouldn't need nearly as much, and they would taste better.... much less issues with turning bitter.... even being sweet and desirable in many cases.
