I probably wouldn't include experienced clinical critiques of guidelines as "most people" though. Every fitness/wellness blog in the world rubbishes dietary guidelines while chugging totally unevidenced bulletproof coffee and kale smoothies
I would argue no, it's quite well supported by international evidence and whilst certainly not a 'cure' for obesity, will pave the way - and help fund - further prevention efforts

Agree....but what is stopping it? Food industry/vested interests...so what I am arguing is - legislate to remove corporate interests from the policy cycle....and we may have a chance at "healthy people, healthy nations"

I have no issue whatsoever with barring corporate interests from dictating policy

No. The evidence re: diet-chronic disease is inconsistent, inconclusive & in every way inadequate to the task. Again, science & policy disregard issues of class & race in tying nutrition knowledge to personal responsibility for long-term health. Remember pellagra & public health?

I honestly don't think that's true at all. Certainly politicians do, in particular conservative politicians, but I don't know a single person who works in public health who thinks that 'personal responsibility' is a key factor in health
