Whether you read it here first or not, quinoa has entered the mainstream. It was mentioned by none other than the great Dr. Memet Oz in a recent issue of Esquire.
Never mind whether The Driver subscribes to Esquire. Suffice it to say that he reads it for the articles. And in this case, it's actually true.
In his "Seven Days to a Better You," or, "Seven Days to a Slightly Less Slovenly You," or, "Something to Try for the Six Days Before Your Next Cheeseburger and Beer Binge, When You Can Go Back to Your Disgusting Old Habits on Monday -- and Would it Kill You to Mix In a Pushup? It Would? Yeah, You're Probably Right" [ Note: None of the preceding titles was the actual name of the article in question. You can see that here ], Dr. Oz says,
"You might ask: During this cleansing, are there any suitable replacements for the gluteny foods that normally fill me up? We would answer: Yes, two very cool foods called chia and quinoa."
The Driver ignored the part about the "cleansing," because he's not that into the whole "nutrition" thing [ See also: The Cheeseburger Compendium ]. And he's even less into the whole "cleansing" thing. But if The Driver ever happens to accidentally wander into the cutting edge of anything, you can bet he's going to milk it for all it's worth. Even if that cutting-edge thing has actually been around for a few millennia.
This just in: Our Entertainment Bureau [ a.k.a. Mrs. Driver ] reports that a recent edition of US Weekly featuring Kate Hudson's trainer's "Bikini Ready in One Week" diet lists quinoa, chicken and kale for dinner.
Never mind whether Mrs. Driver subscribes to US Weekly. Suffice it to say that she reads it for the articles. Those stars... They're just like US!
In summary, quinoa good.
