Fortunately, antidotes to this problem abound. Varying amounts of linoleic and linolenic acid are found in different kinds of cooking and salad oils -- among them corn, soybean, safflower and walnut oils. They are also present in seeds, nuts and green vegetables like broccoli. But don't look for polyunsaturated oils in processed grains, advises Siguel. Food manufacturers generally remove these spoilage-prone compounds from pasta, bread and breakfast cereal in order to lengthen the shelf life of their products. Thus, Siguel ventures, a slice of pizza made with soybean oil may be healthier than portions of some low-fat foods...
...care in clear, illuminating language recently led her to write a book on the subject -- The American Way of Health: How Medicine Is Changing and What It Means to You, published in May in both hardcover and paperback by Little, Brown. She spent six months crisscrossing the country -- from Walnut Creek, California, to Leesburg, Virginia -- interviewing patients, nurses, insurance executives, Senators -- just about anyone with a voice or a stake in the decisions that Washington soon hopes to make.

Julia Child's comment on this food when told of it by a reporter was essentially, "Are you kidding?!" Hint: avoiding tofu and tempeh in their many manifestations is a reallygood idea...
Ultimately, it is the muddled storyline that detracts most from the movie. To their credit, the adapters have tried to follow Andersen's tale quite closely, paying attention to such details as Thumbelina's walnut-shell bed. However, because of their effort to incorporate everything as well as adding their own touches, the audience never "gets to know" the myriad of characters who traipse across the screen. Thumbelina herself seems unable to stay focused for more than a couple of seconds, and can't seem to decide whether she wants to go home, find Cornelius, or run away and join...
