I've been using spirulina for over 8 years. It is an incredible addition to my vegetarian-style diet. It has a really potent taste that can really grow on you once you now how incredible it is for your body. I eat it by the spoonful, but it's great in smoothies, in soups, and more. I think the more distaste one has for it, the more they are likely to need it. Great post on the pros and cons...overall super informative!
