Grass Green

Richard Eugene "Grass" Green (May 7, 1939 – August 5, 2002) was an African American cartoonist notable for being the first black participant in both the 1960s fan art movement and the 1970s underground comics movement. His creations included Xal-Kor the Human Cat and the feature "Wildman and Rubberroy".

Biography

Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Green was given the nickname "Grass" by his childhood friend Ronn Foss, with whom he later collaborated in editing two issues of the magazine Alter Ego. Beginning in 1964, Green's fan art appeared in such fanzines as Alter Ego, Star-Studded Comics, Fantasy Illustrated, The Buyer's Guide to Comics Fandom, Rocket's Blast Comicollector, Komix Illustrated, Super-Hero, and Masquerader.

In 1967, Green broke into the professional comics world, collaborating with Roy Thomas on "The Shape" in Charlton Premiere #1. In the late 1960s, Green drew several more humorous strips for Charlton Comics, mostly in Go-Go Comics. (He also had work published in Bill Pearson's witzend.) He then became involved in the underground comix movement, where his work was published in Super Soul Comix and a Wildman and Rubberroy series. In the 1990s, Green produced work for, among other places, Eros Comics.

Superfood

Superfood is a marketing term used to describe foods with supposed health benefits.

The superfood term is not in common use by dietitians and nutrition scientists, many of whom dispute that particular foods have the health benefits often claimed by advocates of particular superfoods.

Definition

The Macmillan Dictionary defines 'superfood' as a food that is considered to be very good for your health and that may even help some medical conditions. The Oxford Dictionary definition states a superfood is “a nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being”.

The group Cancer Research UK says, "the term 'superfood' is really just a marketing tool, with little scientific basis to it". Another source defines superfood as "a non-medical term popularised in the media to refer to foods that can have health-promoting properties such as reducing one's risk of disease or improving any aspect of physical or emotional health. So-called superfoods may have an unusually high content of antioxidants, vitamins or other nutrients."

180 Nutrition

180 Nutrition is an online business, founded in March 2010, by Stuart Cooke and Guy Lawrence. The business is a provider for healthy protein supplements. The company, 180 Nutrition, gets its name from product's components of one serve of protein, eight natural ingredients and zero preservatives.

History

The idea of the business came into being when Guy Lawrence, a fitness expert, who worked with cancer patients at the time, did his market research on protein supplements and came to the conclusion that most of them may be dangerous to health. Chemicals, sweeteners and other artificial ingredients were being used in a variety of those health products. He wanted to promote healthier supplements that used natural ingredients. Lawrence experimented with his own ingredients and, with the help of a nutritionist and a health expert, developed a protein formula. After he shared the idea with his friend Cooke, they became partners to their new-found company.

By 2013, Guy and Cooke had managed to get more than 7000 customers and a generous fan following on Facebook by writing about controversial health topics over their page. They started off by Cooke's wife packaging and delivering the product by post. When their customers increased, they then outsourced the help for packaging. They ventured on with an initial capital of $3000 and by 2013, their sales revenue reached $150,000. The financial security allowed them to quit their jobs, and focus onto their business. Their business effort was recognised nationwide when they were chosen as finalists for the micro-business Telstra Business Awards, in both 2013 and 2014. They came in at second place in 2013.
