That is true. Our Gov't food pyramid and other nutrition material should be instinctively thought of as questionable. I mean, wouldn't a real liberal and conservative question stuff like that?

That's what I find odd, that there isn't that much blowback against particular subjects like that, perhaps there is too much money involved.

I have pondered that over and over and over again. I believe it has a great deal to do with the psychology of "settled science" and believing in authority. Every trip to Sam's Club or Walmart is bewildering when you can see the growing obesity epidemic in front of your face. I was trying to remember if I ever saw a scooter in the stores two years ago.
