FOOD TERMINOLOGY NOT SALUBRIOUS

Unless our language has changed significantly, it seems to me that food is healthful, people are healthy. Advertisements in the various media and in groceries lead one to believe that if the advertised foods are "healthy," they contain concomitant errors that make them "unhealthy." (As in we normally sell sick lobster but we shall now sell healthy lobster.)

If these folks don't know the difference, one might infer that their product contains other imperfections rendering it unfit to eat if we wish to remain healthy. DICK LAMBERT EAGLE ROCK
