I get press releases, Vol. 2

From the "We've Come a Long Way Since Those Dancing Raisins" department:

JANE SEYMOUR AND THE
CALIFORNIA PISTACHIO COMMISSION
RAISE MONEY AND AWARENESS
FOR WOMEN’S HEART DISEASE PREVENTION”


Limited-Edition "Art for the Heart" Note Cards Being Sold Now at www.pistachios.org

The press release also features this spectacular quote from Jane Seymour herself:

"Since painting is one of my life’s passions, I was honored to be asked by the California Pistachio Commission to create imagery that will be used to help raise money and spread awareness about heart disease and how it can affect so many women."

Naturally, the California Pistachio Commission points out that "a one-ounce serving of 49 pistachios is naturally cholesterol free and predominantly contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fat."

What the Pistachio Commission doesn't document is the incidence of heart attacks among out-of-shape people who are attempting to pry open a stubborn nut.

For what it's worth, tomorrow (Friday) is National Wear Red Day, designated to raise awareness about women and heart disease by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. So if you think of it, wear some red. Or at least buy the red pistachios.
