There's a lot of iron in a knife. I wouldn't want to stick it in my guts, though.

Heh. It was a sort of metaphor. I do know the difference between matter in different bonding states...
Spinach, for example, is a good source of iron, but not because it has any more than other vegetables, but because it is in a form that is easily taken up by the gut.
edit : seems like I was wrong, iron in vegetables and grain is 'non-haem' (as in, not bound to a haem group like in haemoglobin) so is not taken up easily. Further, oxalates in spinach make it less available. Well, whatever.
