Dear Mam,
I believe over the years, with much urging from the citizens of both our
countries, there has been more and more concerted efforts on part of the
Federal Drug Administration to provide more scientific investigation as
to what is considered nutritious and what is considered non-nutritious,
thereby informing the public by indicating on say, all canned and
packaged goods. AS a peoples of our countries we should and must be
informed because even though there are many new treatments that help in
overcoming many or most major conditions, its a sad fact to learn that
each year many more people contract these conditions. It is believed
that much of these conditions are acquired thru lack of proper
nutritious education. I am glad to see our governments take a very
active part in informing and continued research to make us aware so that
we are able to make the choices on what is essential and good for our
daily diet. Thank you Mam, for your contribution and observation.
God Bless and hope your holiday was joyous.
