Your August 2003 issue includes an article on p. 22 entitled "Forgotten Riches," wherein you tout many of the upsides of the vegetable known as mustard greens. Your article reads like an advertisement due to its one-sidedness.

We readers might have benefited by being told whether mustard greens are naturally high in potentially dangerous nitrites/nitrates or whether it's a crop with a high tendency to have pesticide residue. Without both sides of the story, your article loses its uplifting intent and instead becomes an irritant.
