    Perhaps Extriopians could clarify the often contradictory dietary claims
    of nutritionists - what really constitutes a healthy diet? I saw
    (Scientific American?) recently that someone re-wrote the "Food Guide
    Pyramid." Is there any genuine benefit to unusual combinations of
    vitamins, minerals, or other supplements? What happened to the long-life
    cocktail? And on the broader political scene - how to get adequate and
    healthy (and aesthetic) food to those who need it, across insane
    boundaries of politics and money class...
