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
Well I guess I'd say firstly that Pete's criticism is definitely not even or fair-paced: he literally said that the guidelines are just wrong. I don't think that's particularly helpful or even close to being true

As for what he's advocating: I don't think it's "back to basics" in any way, really. He pushes a specific, expensive, difficult-to-maintain version of a diet that is quite hard to follow in and of itself

Wait....I thought we covered the reciprocity of this to the ADG? We can't say "no one follows ADG anyway" and still claim "ADG are not hard to follow" or "are not expensive" or "can be maintained long term"??

Pete isn't "in charge of public health policy, training dietitians, nor research.." therefore, "wrong" is reasonable term from "a public"?

if you are looking for "nuanced discussion" the guardian is not going to deliver. The ADG are "not right" ergo "they're wrong" is reasonable in this medium.
