From an article on The Gospel of Food (comments mine):

Despite public concerns over meat safety, eight out of 10 cases of food poisoning come from fruits, vegetables, seafood and cheese.
Seafood does not surprise me. Actually, if they're including cases related to lack of safe handling, meat is more likely to be cooked than fruit.
Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables often are as nutritious as fresh produce; they preserve micronutrients that can be lost when fresh produce is packed and shipped.
Churchgoers tend to be more overweight than other people.

Three out of four American families with children under 18 eat dinner together at least five nights a week -- about the same number as in the 1950s.
There are just fewer families with children now.
Studies show we get more nutritional value from foods we enjoy.
Contrary to popular belief, obesity rates are about the same among adults who were bottle-fed as they are among infants who were breast-fed.
Chocolate raises "good" cholesterol, elevates mood and supplies protein, calcium and antioxidants, leading one Harvard researcher to equate its health benefit to green tea and red wine. (Alas, no one claims it'll make you skinny.)
