This post combines two of my favorite things, the insanity of the current consensus belief on nutrition, and the massive ignorance of most journalists.
Seriously crazy stuff. Even if the journalists know nothing about nutrition or science or medicine, shouldn't they, being journalists, be able to do a little research and find someone on the other side of the story? Or know that perhaps they should compare the outrageous meal to a normal meal instead of a fasted state?
This is why TV & Newspapers are in trouble. Why get a story from someone who knows nothing about the subject but who is a "trained" writer when you can get the same story from a blogger who is a subject matter expert and writes almost as well and sometimes better?
BTW, ABC reporter Yuji de Nies does the ridiculous journalist voice they make fun of on the Simpsons.
Dr. Michael Eades should be Surgeon General. Or Secretary of HHS. Or both. Obama should make that "change."
