It’s hard to knock the benefits of juicing.

You feel better, it tastes good, and there are books full of health benefits on the matter. But seriously, whoever gets stuck on cleanup duty may never want to juice again. By the time you’ve done your shopping, chopping, juicing, and cleaning to whittle down to a glass of drinkable liquid, you’ve spent more of your day than you’d care to account for.

At the very least, this graphic put together by data visualization firm Column Five makes me feel a little less terrible about dropping $8 on a freshly squeezed spicy kale lemonade at the local juice spot.

Yeah, I bought a juicer once. Was into the whole “juicing for health benefits” thing. That lasted all of about a week. I don’t even know where my juicer is. Probably drowning in a small corner of the storage room, buried in a sea of other useless appliances.

No, seriously, have you ever tried juicing? The slicing and chopping and loads of time of preparation only to end up with about 1/2 cup of juice? It’s just not worth it to me. The point of the article is the whole idea here and completely accurate.
