" The best advice is to eat a wide variety of foods, " says D.

Clay, Chief of FAO's Nutrition Programmes Service. This is one of the

main messages in FAO's " Get the best from your food " campaign, a

public information initiative aimed at promoting appropriate diets

and healthy lifestyles. " Eating an abundance of fruits and vegetables

within the context of a diverse diet will help ensure you are meeting

your nutritional needs, " says Clay. [see related article, " Colour is

the key. " ]

Cheers, Al Pater.
