Vegetables and Terrorism
From an article in the Washington Post about a company that is paid to "place" articles in newspapers to promote certain products:
Another story that ran several years ago in West Virginia's Charleston Gazette was titled "Family togetherness increases after Sept. 11," in reference to the 2001 terrorist attacks. It started as a typical trend story and ended with a plug for Dole Fresh Vegetables.
In times of difficulty, people often turn to those they care about the most -- their families.
The terrorist attacks of September 11 are no exception.
Spending time with family can help reduce negative emotions such as fear or depression. Simply eating dinner together, experts say, can lower stress levels. As one psychologist put it: "A little conversation and a warm smile can work wonders."
Experts add that as long as you're having dinner, you might as well eat something that's good for you. They recommend DOLE FRESH CARROTS. While you're comforting your loved ones after an unspeakable atrocity committed by members of a radical Islamic movement who seek to destroy our country and kill as many of us as possible in the process, DOLE FRESH CARROTS are working to promote good eyesight and healthy skin.
Likewise, DOLE FRESH BROCCOLI can be an important part of your Sept. 11 recovery plan. Experts say nibbling on raw florets (an excellent source of vitamin C, folic acid and fiber) while discussing your feelings can be therapeutic. As one expert put it: "They're tasty too!"
