Eating fruit and vegetable scraps such as peels and stalks could provide a health boost that most of us are missing, say UK researchers.

They say scraps are an overlooked source of dietary fibre and are encouraging people to try "root-to-tip" eating, including watermelon rind, pineapple core and butternut squash seeds.

I was going to agree with the article, but nevermind. There has to be a better way to get your fiber.

    There definitely are. This is some bullshit "publish or die" noise. Please ignore and focus on the class war. 😅💟

    I mean, if you start at class war it's definitely noise. If you're starting at diet and lifestyle it's just a clickbaity headline for "people often consider nutritious parts of food to be scraps".

    It's basically a step past telling people that the skin on a potato tastes fine and has vitamins, so try eating it when you make a baked potato, or leave it on when making soup".

    I mean, all you'd have to do is make a smoothie.
