      Look around buddy, look around the shelves of the supermarket, look at the packages of health claims, look at our food-health statistics....the Public Health System we've created has led us to "this" - even if "not intended" this is what the outcome is.

      That is not Grade C evidence

      The reason why I'm being pedantic here is because I think this is fairly central to your objections. You see it as obvious that the guidelines are not working, but you do not actually have the evidence to back this up

      Replying to @GidMK @WeDietitians and

      We do not know what the food environment would look like without guidelines. We do not know what people would be eating without them. There is Grade C evidence that they work, but the evidence that you are relying on for your argument that they don't is simply not there at all

      Replying to @GidMK @WeDietitians and

      "People are gaining weight" is not an argument against the guidelines for the very simple reason that you have no comparator. We cannot just assume reasons, that's what evidence and grading is all about

      Except we've not modelled "doing nothing"... And we do have that information if we go looking. And is why I sent you that blog about "how the ADG actually came about" because history does matter.pic.twitter.com/nGUhvdYu4h

      So you agree that the evidence for your position is not, in fact, Grade C, but largely based on a personal interpretation of low-grade evidence?

      Replying to @GidMK @MacroFour and

      Have you been reading anything I've attached? The wording for Grade C on the ADG might not be what you think it is? There's a statement in one of the documents that says "we set the standard at 5 good-quality studies..." I'll ask @foodnuthealthpic.twitter.com/JpH7Pb0JPj

      Replying to @WeDietitians @MacroFour and

      Indeed. So, presumably, you can produce at least 5 good-quality studies demonstrating that guidelines are ineffective

      Replying to @GidMK @MacroFour and

      I'll wait for @foodnuthealth ...because I think the statement went on to say "but we couldn't always get that so we....." I just cannot remember what the compromise was. The wording though in my quote above does say "some support"...what do you think of that?

      So no, no studies demonstrating your point. And you say I don't give straight answers!
