I use mine for getting the fuzz off this Kiwi, so where's the joke?

Like, man, ditto.

Monthly, the agency which I work for, sends out nutritional information to our clients. This months flyer is all about Vitamin C and how to get the proper amount in your diet. One of the suggestions was, "Try a new source of Vitamin C. Eat a Kiwi."

I don't get enough Vitamin C in my diet. Max? Cap K? Can you help me?

nutritional information

There are numerous signs in my doctor's office admonishing me to Eat Healthy. I would like to know what Healthy is. Does it have a pleasant taste? Does it come in a box? Can I buy it at my local independent grocer's shop?

Oh, Max, you're always warm and fuzzy to me! I've never met a Kiwi I didn't love.

Dear Rapunzel,

One of my pets peeves (and a dying dog, this pet is) is the lack of difference made between healthful and healthy. I NEVER hear anyone anymore use healthful. It drives me CRAZY! Everytime I hear someone say, "Oh, such-and-such product is healthy," I just want to run my fingers down the old blackboard and shriek!

But I'm an old dog and my bark is pretty weak,
DeadDog

Whaaaaaa? I would say it's gone completely the other way. I never heard "healthful" until I started reading USn magazines as a teenager, and therefore attributed this ugly word to them. (Now the Canadian magazines seem to use it, too.) All my life until that point, stuff was "healthy".
