      Generally speaking...experts in the area, ideally based on evidence. I think the way the NHMRC comes to most of their conclusions (including clinical research) is a pretty workable way to go about it

      Why is it necessary for anyone to tell anyone else how to eat? We somehow managed not to eat dirt or chairs before the guidelines came about. We might be able to manage without them now.

      Seems like an argument against all expertise, as well as a very strong argument against faux-expertise like Pete Evans' brand of nonsense

      😉 Or, if we must have guidelines: 1) Everybody gets adequate essential nutrition, including high-quality protein foods as desired/required. 2) Nobody gets pestered about "healthy" foods, "healthy" weight, etc.

      Sorry! I'm getting into some last-minute Friday data analysis, got a bunch of abstracts due next week. In principle - certainly. Pestering people doesn't work, so why do it anyway?

      He's "a public" he can, and we need to give anyone who is not a trained science person the space to muddle through - bc SOMETHING is wrong....and solutions are not going to be found in "how public say something isn't working"...yeah?

      I think anyone who has an enormous public platform has some responsibility to fact-check their assertions. His anti-vax stance, for example, is truly horrific

          You know, I almost used "pete is anti-vax" in my "statements dietitians throw around" he is in fact NOT anti-vax, never has been, but that we just assume someone is bc they hold alternate views in other spheres is, well, its just not cricket. 🙁

          Um, I think he's pretty on the record as vaccine questioning, at least. He's definitely against water fluoridation and sunscreen (weirdly), so there's those ones as wellpic.twitter.com/307FGh6ghR

          LOL. " Anyone who has an enormous public platform has some responsibility to fact-check their assertions." That's what the critics of the 1977 Dietary Goals and 1980 DGA said too. But we created them anyway & then sent them overseas. 😏
