Last thing...the publisher was "instructed by lawyers from the DAA and others" to pull the publication of the book. I am not saying this action was "right or wrong" just that there was "power" at play here too. Shutting down "Pete Evans" will not budge our food-health stats.
Why should it be either/or? And science is not produced in a vacuum, of course there are issues. The question is always how/why that biases research, and what it means, not throwing results away wholesale

Let me put it this way: I think there is room for national recommendations wrt consumer education. I don't think that should be the only or even the primary method of reducing poor health in the community
