Do you care about food lists?

This morning, The New York Times’ Well blog has a list of “The 11 best foods you aren’t eating.” The list of healthful foods “that are easy to find but don’t always find their way into our shopping carts” includes beets, cabbage, Swiss chard, cinnamon, pomegranate juice, dried plums (prunes), pumpkin seeds, sardines, turmeric, frozen blueberries and canned pumpkin.
I’ll admit, I’m not eating most of these.
I do use cinnamon pretty often — though mostly in baking, and I don’t think you could consider snickerdoodles a healthful food by any stretch. And turmeric comes into play when I make Shimp Vindaloo, one of my favorite quick-and-easy Indian dishes. Frozen blueberries go in phases, usually becoming a morning staple (mixed with low-fat granola and vanilla yogurt) for a few weeks after I run across a list like this.
What about you? Do lists like this affect what foods you buy?

I laughed at this list. Frozen Blueberries? Pomegranate juice? Canned pumpkin? C’mon now. I eat what’s fresh and local.
Greens, yes. Beets, yes. Spices, yes.
Who exactly was this list written for?
