In Praise of the Green Star

The Green Star Green Power Gold juicer, a "twin gear" machine of sheer power, is the Sub Zero of extractors/food processors. It may seem nuts to spend upwards of $500 on a counter-top appliance in this economic climate, but, well, you might think of the purchase as a capital acquisition. Raw foodies are fanatical about the machine because it extracts the absolute maximum of nutrients from every lemon, apple, or kale it encounters. It's not a starter juicer, but if you're already splurging on $7 drinks at your local health food store, think about it.
