What is the best way to eat?

[Guest guest]

Dear Al: I think you are confusing the two lists.

Such nitty-gritty " problems " can drive one " nuts " . It's absolute folly to

worry about them. This poor guy is misled that answers to such pointless

diet minutiae can help him live longer.

I would tell him to focus on the big picture and not drive himself " nuts " .

But do eat some nuts. They're very healthy.
