I believe that a healthy diet helps most diseases
I don't know that that's true; however, even if a healthy diet doesn't affect a *disease* (by curing/mitigating it), a healthy diet can support a person's overall health/state of being, such that the impact of having a disease is lessened.
And, of course, there's always the beneficial mental-health properties of [your favorite food here].
But the suggestion that lettuce and pico de gallo are somehow equivalent is WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONGITY WRONG SO VERY OMG WRONG
Yeah, seriously. Why not salsa verde, or a cooked tomato salsa? But lettuce? It's a whole different kind of thing!

For example, homemade dulce de leche ice cream is good for the soul.
OMG, I bet it so is.
and whiskey is good for my nerves.
There's a gross article in this month's Marie Claire about a woman who was told by her doctor that she was "obese" at nearly 6 feet and like 175. Dude.
I don't cross the obesity threshold and I weight 215 lbs. at that height. Are they sure this guy was a doctor and not a fashion designer who thinks stethoscopes are the next big trend in accessories?

I KNOW!
And they're still serving the cooked tomato salsa, so I was able to load up a container of that and pour it over my mini tostada. But still! Lettuce not the same as pico de gallo!

Good for what ails ya.
On the vine are supposed to be safe, cooked tomatoes safe. I don't know - can washing clean off salmonella?
Not according to NPR this morning. It definitely helps but the salmonella can get through the porous skin of the tomato.
I mostly eat grape tomatoes anyway so I'm not worried.
can washing clean off salmonella?
I don't think that's the issue. I think they are worried about salmonella entering the flesh of the tomato from the vine scar.

They both contain or are things you'd fine in the produce aisle?
