Hi,
   
  I am validating a book by Dean Ornish called Eat More, Weigh Less (he's the 
guy who says that you can reverse heart disease by following his diet).  
Anyway, I'm done validating it except for 24 pages of nutritional analysis of 
common foods.  Each page has about 25 foods listed, and for each food, he gives 
the unit he's using of the food, and for each unit, its weight in grams (g), 
calories, carbohydrates (g), protein (g), fat (g), saturated fat (g), 
mono-unsaturated fat (g), poly-unsaturated fat (g), cholesterol (mg), and 
sodium (mg).  Obviously there's a huge amount of information in these charts, 
and it'll take me quite a while to fix them up (as good as the office scanner 
is, it still messes charts up).
   
  So my question is:  is it worth my while to fix up these charts?  I submitted 
another book on the RDA (required daily amounts) of various foods, so that's 
already in the collection.  If no one cares, I'll skip cleaning up the section, 
but if this makes a difference to someone's life, then I'll start working on 
it.  Anyone got a preference?
   
  Thanks!  Carrie
