Re: Is there a point to saving money? (4.00 / 2)

Natto is definitely super-nutritious, but it's going to require the prospect of starvation before most Americans start to consider it edible, let alone delicious. :-)

I'm sort of natto-agnostic. I could eat it, if I had to, but would rather not. Most Americans I know who have been introduced to it find it disgustingly, nauseatingly foul.

Good points, though, and thanks for the comments!

I believe that picture says just about everything about natto that can be said without smelling it. :-)
