To the editor:
The article by Amanda Ritvo and Tom Massaro is a potent reminder of the insidious power of the Ice Cream Lobby. The fact that two sophisticated public health official publicly exonerate this dairy-fueled menace is clear evidence of the power of this industry to deflect blame. My nephew, Donald, fell into a home swimming pool within a few days of consuming a hot fudge sundae. While he luckily escaped injury, his new sneakers were damaged beyond repair. Holding an ice cream cone seriously interferes with anyone’s swimming ability.
I rest my case.
