Veggies at the Ball Game

Recently I’ve been on a campaign to teach people, especially women and children about health. That is why I was upset with Bill Mitchell when he mocked and made fun of Californians for serving veggies at a baseball game (Voice, April 11). What does Bill think the items of choice should have been? Beer? Cigarettes?

Instead of listening to that type of negative innuendo, we should be following suit and adding more veggies to our diets.

Let’s ignore the sarcasm, take better care of ourselves, and praise anyone who wants to help us eat right. I want to encourage everyone to stop smoking, start exercising, eat lots of vegetables, and take control of your own health.

According to Nutrition and Cancer No. 3, 1992, “Veggies can shield women against cancer.” Veggies also contain fiber that can help lower cholesterol.
