How it relates to LC and nutrition...
I think this relates directly to LC and nutrition in general because it shows how government agencies can and do put a spin on health. The objectivity of scientific studies run by the government is seriously in question. So when the FDA is busy figuring out what new products to approve or what products to discontinue... when the USRDA food pyramid is being revamped, it does bring to mind what influences there may be on what is termed "healthy".
When my husband first started Atkins he had an awful stress dream that the "wheat police" were out for revenge.
We thought it was funny, but then after reading about the powerful agribusiness lobbies, it wasn't really that funny any more.
