Grocery Store Hospital

So I found this cool article about scientists who looked at cross sections of vegetables and fruits under an MRI. Yes, Veggies Tales has finally become a hospital soap opera. Who would've known MRIs actually have a lot to do with chemistry on the quantum level. After writing about waves of light for a chemistry project,  I decided I'd never write about waves again. As you can see, this didn't last long. 

To celebrate the new Shoprite, why not blog about fruits and vegetables!

Here's the boring part. Don't worry, the rest is a lot better. So an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is when a person (or food) lies in a strong magnetic field which lines up all of the protons in the atoms that make up your body. Next radio waves are sent to specific areas of the body to knock these protons out of place. After messing everything up, the radio waves are turned off and the protons come back in line and send out their own radio waves use to make images. These stupid waves never stop. If you want more of this stuff (I don't know why you would) read here. 

So now here comes the cool part! Can you guess the fruit or vegetable from the MRI? 


It's broccoli! Looks like a fourth of July fireworks show. Or the diagrams they show you when you go to the psychologist. 


The banana flower. Yeah, I didn't know they existed either. 


This is a kiwano. Looks like an alien blob. 


Corn! If you didn't know this one, but you guessed the kiwano, reevaluate your life. 


The Devil. Aka Tomatoes. Nasty. So this is what evil looks like. 


Celery, which requires more energy to digest than it gives. So it pretty much defeats the purpose of eating... 


Strawberries! A kaleidoscope is really just a cylinder with a bunch of strawberries inside of it.

Well these MRIs have revealed fruits and vegetables don't have tumors! Aren't you relieved? Imagine going into an MRI room looking for a family member, but instead finding a fruit or vegetable. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" That'll help Obama care.
