Diet Debate

This might seem to be off-topic but the government has long meddled in food policy via health regulations, food stamps, farm market orders, school lunches, etc. I do think Nina Teicholz (the pro-omnivore case) has the better argument; I don't think the plant-based movement makes a convincing case explaining the explosion of type 2 diabetes, obesity, in the aftermath of health guidelines attacking saturated fats, pushing dietary consumption of carbohydrates. It should be noted that Katz had a preexisting feud against Teicholz. See here for Teicholz's review of the debate.
