I love this list. Teff is a grain popular among African runners (and now American runners). I'd like to see quinoa on there.

I just listened to an interview with Matt talking about his first 50 miler and how it compares to road marathons. Fun to hear his perspective. He was sufficiently humbled by the race.

Occasionally I differ with him but there is no one out there besides Matt who writes consistently useful stuff for the serious endurance athlete.
