Latest San Francisco Chronicle column: Q and A on fats (mostly)
For this one, I answered a bunch of questions and responded to a letter to the editor from Stephen Sundlof, head of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

He was in charge of the pet food recalls in 2007 and is now in charge of the current peanut butter recalls.
