   Why, I went to Wonder Bread Medical School, in which we were taught
that refined foods build strong bodies 12 ways.  Most of my books were
tuition was paid for by the snack food industry, and I still have my
Cheez Whiz pen, which I use to write prescriptions for Mevacor (you'll
find it's the same company, if you do some digging).

    Hope that's helpful.  Oh, and by the way, at Wonder School they
told us about people who were into "brown bread."  They said that if
you look at the label, most of the flour is still white even in brown
bread, and the brown is just color added by a flour which is second or
third ingredient.  Makes people feel virtuous to eat, they said, but
doesn't really have much good stuff in it, most of the time.
Exceptions exist, but they are often dry, and the non-dry ones are from
bread shops, generally not large supermarkets.

   Harvard?  I confess I actually didn't make it into Wonder Bread
Medical School, and had to settle for White Bread Medical School
(sometimes also known as the University of Utah).  As to joke books, I
buy these in health food stores.  I'm still laughing at "The Cure For
All Diseases."
