Re: Nutrient content
YOU ask? When the govt long ago allocated funding to the land grant
colleges, it was Cornell that was told to give the population of US data
on nutrition.
So far I have been cheated.
I tried for many years, by letter and by phone, to get some data from one
of your Cornell profs, and finally I confronted him when he appeared as
speaker at a meeting. HIs reply, his excuse why he had never answered was:
He was so busy.
Busy? with free stationery, envelopes, stamps, secretarial help,
computers, library, staff, excellet lab equipment---everything handy All
FREE to him, plus a heft salary, thanks to taxes we pay for his benefit.
And here I have been helping people with information , decade after
decade, and still, at 80, am answering letters and phone questions, while
I live on less than poverty level.
I have done THEIR work free for years.
One question I have repeatedly asked is: Is it true that the most and the
most valuable dietary values lie just under the skin of a fruit or
vegetable:
Wouldn't you think within the last 30 years or so, that this man could
have found time to reply? Or if he doesn't know, isn't it time he finds
out?
So why are you asking us, the people to whom YOU should be giving us
answers?
