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!

just keep on eating it. you will learn to love it. i did. even if it did take about 30 years.

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