In response to “Council Urges Major Changes For U.S. Diet,” Part I, March 2:
The National Research Council urges us to eschew vitamin supplements and eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, lean meat, etc., finding our minerals and vitamins in them. But only recently we were informed that fruits and vegetables, doused with pesticides, are a danger. Contaminated fish, meat and fowl stuffed with hormones are old news.
Really, ladies and gentlemen of the Committee on Diet and Health, what are we supposed to do? Die laughing perhaps?
