I have seen notices in the paper for classes one could sign up for regarding diet related information to promote a healthier lifestyle. But that doesn't seem to fit with this last article that suggested apples are great in such items as muffins, cookies, ice cream, cakes, cobblers and pies. This makes me suspicious of what their true goal is. In the world of nutrition, are these items controversial? If the extension service is science based, where's the science that says these items promote health rather than disease? One would think that a university would know better. Why would we want our tax dollars spent this way?

Oh no, another government conspiracy, when will it ever end?
