An Apple A Day

As the debate over health care reform rages on in Washington all kinds of proposals are advanced for reducing health care costs. So far our esteemed Senators have missed the opportunity to use apples to promote good health. It would make sense for the Senators from apple growing states like Washington, New York, Michigan and California to insist on an amendment mandating that all Americans are required to eat an apple a day. Everyone knows that an apple a day will keep the doctor away.

If such an amendment gains momentum, I'm sure the Republicans like the proverbial rotten apple that spoils the barrel will try to upset the applecart. I doubt that they will succeed once it becomes clear that eating an apple a day is as American as apple pie and the best thing for good health since sliced bread (multi grain not white).
