I found this gem in a rant on nutritionists ---

"Everyone knows basic dietary advice, and they don't need a nutritionist,
doctor, alternative therapist or journalist, to tell them. They need their
mum."

Well in my case it's true, though I do realise a lot of parents
don't exactly feed their children healthy food. :)

Hmm, I was unable to find any relevant nutritional data on
chrysanthemum in the online databases... ;^]

However, it's use as a food, and a medicine, is not unknown in some
parts of the world:

Okay, "Happy Dog", I will explain it for you and any other nobodies who
may be unable to make the connection. "Mum" is a contraction of the
name of the flower known commonly as chrysanthemum, so "just for fun",
I interpreted the quotation ion my own inimitable style... ;^]
