Re: “The science behind veganism is solid”, “Digging deeper into Dr Dean Ornish’s therapy for cancer” and “Path to obesity sign-posted by four letters – HFCS,” Have Your Say, yesterday.
May I suggest that the editors reserve a special section of the “Have Your Say” column (I still think it ought to be called “Share Your Angst”) for letters focusing on food and diet. You could call it “Food Fight”, and head it with a cartoon logo featuring a keyboard knight looking slightly deranged, preparing to joust, clad in full armour, wielding a lance, mounted on his warhorse and munching on a sandwich. In this section, food fanatics like Eric Bahrt and Thomas Turk could duke it out on their own special battlefield. Those readers who, like me, have absolutely no interest in competing food fanaticisms could then avoid that section entirely.
