I do beg to differ with you on some of the information being the most accurate....ah, that's not always true. Many times studies are released prematurely or without controls used to help veryify that results are indeed accurate....and then time passes and results shown aren't always as shown initially.

Again, I will state that it isn't necessarily the newspapers' responsibility to act as medical literature....stories that are presented are currently in the news in some manner and again, there may be conflicting views and/or studies.

You assume that people don't know what's right for them...well, most people do take exception when told how they should live their lives. There are many reasons for people being overweight, some are indeed heavy from overeating, lack of exercise, others have medical situations that impact their life, preventing them from keeping their figure more on the lean side.
People eat for various reasons....we aren't always privy to why.

Food doesn't cure everything, VPL, I know you realize that. A good diet, and for some that includes animal products, can help maintain homeostasis.

Please don't think I'm preaching against health....I'm more concerned with sources of information. Again, I will state, that not all studies may not be as accurate as they first appear.

We must meet one day VPL, I'll buy you a drink. Stay well.
