I thought about this. However, I’m just very damn tired of people telling individuals HOW they should live, WHAT they should eat. What you may not realize is that academics do for a living is mostly whore their knowledge. Many times, they are looking for grants, money from people or government with other issues in mind (like total control and domination) to subjugate freedom. Academics thrive on publication, grants, studies, contracts, ‘research - usually in the guise of research, anyways’ and brains for sale to anyone who pays. Look at the ilk in our colleges and universities polluting the minds of our children....you just can believe anything they say any more...I know a lot of this for a fact.....
I agree with your point, and I’m well aware of the funding issue. I look at all studies with a jaundiced eye. However, your analogy wasn’t a good one.
