Federal greetings, all!
I know many of us here are members of other diet-related lists. Feel free
to forward or cut-n-paste the info below to everyone you know.
Remember, all comments to the USDA are public record. Will your input
affect the protocol of the study? Personally, I doubt it but numbers DO
mean something; look at what happened in Florida.
I'll gladly forward the whole kit and caboodle to anyone who privately
requests it, but the information below will suffice if you wish to give your
2 cents to Uncle Sam on the USDA study.
Have fun!
