In the book Rebuild from Depression, I highlight about seventy-five foods that I call "depression busters." These are foods high in our depression fighting nutrients and fats: B-12, B-6, folate, iron, magnesium, zinc, and Omega-3 fatty acids.
While that may seem like a lot of different foods to make a "best of" list, you may already know from the "Pest or Dinner?" Contest that not all foods on the list are considered "food" by all people. Some people, somewhere, eat the foods on the list, but most of middle America has never tasted a majority of the foods.
We found out that the squirrel is an official depression buster. So is Smokey the Bear in the regular bear meat form. Bambi can fight depression as a Bambi Burger.
I can assure you that there are foods on the list that also happen to be rock groups. There may be groups or performers from other genres on the list as well. Your task is to find those groups or performers and submit them to the contest "Rock Group and Depression Buster?"
Here are the rules:
• The entry must be a food of some kind, or at least theoretically digestible.
• The food must also be some sort of music group or performer. If there is a song that's really good and you feel like it must be entered, so be it, enter it as well.
• You must give some reason why you think it is a depression buster.
If you have some story related to the food or the music, tell me the story. I love to hear stories.
Winners will win a free copy of the book. There will be about three winners, likely chosen for their humor or strangeness. We may even vote if I can figure out how to do that here.
If you have a blog, you are welcome to post your entry there and I will link to it from here.
