THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!
Remember this the next time a leftist douchebag screeches that "the science is settled" and bleats that you're a "climate denier".
Ending the War on Fat
"The taste of my childhood was the taste of skim milk. We spread bright yellow margarine on dinner rolls, ate low-fat microwave oatmeal flavored with apples and cinnamon, put nonfat ranch on our salads. We were only doing what we were told. In 1977, the year before I was born, a Senate committee led by George McGovern published its landmark 'Dietary Goals for the United States,' urging Americans to eat less high-fat red meat, eggs and dairy and replace them with more calories from fruits, vegetables and especially carbohydrates.
By 1980 that wisdom was codified."
It was all wrong.
THIRTY YEARS. Think about it. Really think about it. For THIRTY YEARS we all KNEW what was healthy eating.
Think of the hundreds of millions on bad diets as a result. Think of the health cost.
Think of the billions in scientific research based on that bad science.
Think of the industries that grew on bad science, and the GOOD industries that suffered as a result.
Think of the progress that could have been made in good industries becoming more efficient than never happened in those lost thirty years.
The ramifications of thirty years of what we KNOW being wrong are almost impossible to accurately imagine.
But the science was settled. Anyone who doubted it was denying what we all "know".
There was FAR less political agenda in that than there is in climate science. That's one of the key tools the left can use to control us. Just remember the next time these rabid herd animals calls you a denier or claims the science is settled, for thirty years fat was bad for you but now it's not. Science is NEVER settled.
