Villages, thank you for going back to 4H and helping us remember the big picture. IFaS has helped me know what plants are invasive, what is killing my sagos, plants that attract butterflies...
I'm sure the nutritional advice has public interest at heart, but as you say there is a great deal of controversy over what is best.

This thread is about ME again and why I don't do more research?

If the American Cancer Society recommended smoking, would you say it's okay because some people like smoking and they do lots of good things like cancer research?

There's no controversy over the items they mentioned. They claim to be science based. Did you notice the word "science" in "consumer science"? Show me the science that says cakes, pies, ice cream, cobblers (etc.) are health promoting foods.

I just eat the muffin tops, don't care for the stumps.

Villages PL,

You come here and bait people into an argument. Instead of pontificating on TOTV, why don't you visit the office and challenge them about their motives.

In this case, it is "all about you" because you want to be the center of attention here.
