I think it's clear that I am the exact opposite of a conspiracy theorist. But when you look at the extent to which food lobbyist have influenced policy right down to dietary recommendations, its completely insane. I am cool with Left/Right politicians and everyone having their opinions, but this issue makes me want to watch them all burn.
Senator McGovern and Ansel Keys and groups backed by Pepsi and Coke and sugar producers and farmers have killed 10s of millions of people with the completely retarded idea that THE very staple of our diet for a couple million years - fat, is bad.
A really great thing to read up on is Timothy Noakes and his fight with the South African government - where a diet itself was actually put on trial. They really brought to the light the extent to which special interests have influenced dietary recommendations backed by studies funded indirectly by companies like Coke.
A diet on trial. A nations recommended dietary guidelines and those of the West also put on trial. A pretty spectacular event... where they demonstrated that our dietary guidelines are completely wrong and are killing people wholesale,... which got no real media attention at all.
