Dandelion: Don't Kill the Dandelion

Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) have been used for centuries as food and for medicinal purposes. From a nutritional standpoint they rank very high compared to most other foods! For more info see the links below.

I want to thank Canadian singer Allan Rankin for granting me permission to use his song for the video, Don't Kill the Dandelion.

Allan Rankin is a Prince Edward Island singer-songwriter, former senior public servant, and writer. Over a career spanning more than thirty years, Allan held senior positions in the provincial government, and also worked as a policy advisor in Ottawa.
