Blueberry boost

Hen House in our KC market featured blueberries in its food ad this week. Inexplicably, the ad was labeled as showing prices good from Aug. 8 through Aug. 14. Typo? By rights, it should have read Aug. 1-7.
Anyway, blueberries got major run: From the ad, which advertised Michigan blueberries at $4.99 for an 18-ounce package.

"Blueberries improve vision, clear arteries, strengthen blood vessels, enhance memory, promote weight control."
"Consumption of blueberries may reverse some of the properties of aging because of their antioxidant properties."
"Blueberries may help prevent urinary track infections."

TK: That about covers all the worries involved with getting old. Hook me up to a blueberry IV, please.
