What we eat
Sir, — “Let your food be your medicine, your medicine your food.” (Hippocrates). This came to my mind after reading Garry Arthur’s excellent article: “How little we know about what we eat”(“The Press,”- May 28). Not only is our food •seldom our medicine: these days it is often. literally our poison. People ■ around the world are revolting against mass-produced' non-foods. Could our omnipresent Kiwi apathy be not a natural national characteristic, but a sign of malnourishment? I would recommend to readers an excellent locally produced book, “For Goodness Sake,” by Merren Parker, for a commonsense look at the whole food scene. — Yours, etc., JILL WILCOX. . May 28, 1982.
