One of the first things a future researcher learns in Research 101 is a healthy respect for the limitations of self-report data. A personal story here. I remember during my campus visit (on-site job interview) to UWM, I presented some research findings of subjective factors in appraising application software documentation. One of their then doctoral students (DM) then pointed out the limitations of subjective research, wowing his fellow colleagues and professors with his profound (predictable) insight. (I had specifically pointed out the need for further reliability and validation of the proposed measure,)
I also have a separate layman's nutrition blog where I explore issues like in the presented clip. Why present this topic? In fact, over the history of the blog, I've occasionally discussed government intervention in the food market, e.g., trade wars, SNAP, soda taxation, sugar subsidies, and the food pyramid/low-fat diet. On a personal note, grass-fed beef, lamb, organ meats, etc. are a regular part of my diet; I tend to limit processed meats like hot dogs, fruit juices and the "white foods", like sugar, bread, rice and potatoes.
