Michael Olson Food Chain Radio: The Nutrition Blame Game

Fats are bad. No, fats are good! Carbohydrates are good. No, carbohydrates are bad! Sugar is bad. No, sugar is good!

We have listened to a lot of conflicting advise as to what is good to eat over the past thirty years, and as a consequence we have eaten our way into a monumental obesity crisis.

And so its time to say, “Excuse me!”

Who is doing all the talking about what we should, and should not, be eating? Why do the talkers seem to be giving so many confllicting opinions as to what is good to eat? Are those who sell food to eat allowed to say anything they want about the nutritional value of their products? Why does science not provide a clearly defined path through the nutritional confusion?

Let’s eat!
