This is too funny. I have always said that I don’t trust drinking or eating anything blue because I can’t emagine where the color comes from..THER IS NO BLUE FOOD!

I totally concur with J.L. Morton about the impact blue food can have. When my daughter was eleven her April Fool’s joke on the family was to make a delicious-smelling meal of meatballs. Upon arrival at the table, the balls instantly elicited constricted throats all around; they were blue. Very blue. Inedibly blue.

Besides blue potatoes and blueberries (which I think of Blue being blue berries), there is also blue corn which when ground makes blue corn chips. There are some blue beans.

A favorite drink of mine – the Blue Hawaiian is blue. There are yummy blues, just not as many as other colored fruits and veggies.

To quote the late George Carlin:

“Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food – I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean, green is lime; yellow is lemon; orange is orange; red is cherry; what’s blue? There’s no blue! Oh, they say, “Blueberries!” Uh-uh; blue on the vine, purple on the plate. There’s no blue food! Where is the blue food? We want the blue food! … They’re keeping it from us!”

You had a whole column about how eating a variety of colors is healthy and a good idea, then tried to restrict your readers to just one color. The inherent contradiction is painful to read.
