You don’t give doctors much credit for dietary knowledge, do you? I rely in doctors solely for reactive medicine. I take care of the proactive side.
As you like to say, “Educate yourself.” Then when your doctor makes a dietary suggestion, you can find out how little or much he/she knows.
Your dietary knowledge rest solely on your shoulders. Quit making accusations about the food suppliers hiding the contents of products and do some research on your own. You have been a proponent of that on this thread, but always seem to want to play the victim whenever you want to attack capitalism.
If people quit buying “junk food”, it would not be profitable to produce it. If there is no demand, the supply will drop.
It is the system we live in. What else could be the problem if not the very system(foundation)of the society in which we live.
My very good friends wife is an ER doctor. She had 4hrs. of nutritional training. So no I don’t give them much credit on their dietary knowledge. Often I’m stunned in their nutritional advice. It is so outdated.
What I say based on the things I read and from talks and/or debates.
Do you think there are things they do to make that food more in demand? Like hiring food scientists to manipulate the ingredients to make them more desirable?
I would expect nothing less. Every company should attempt to make their product more attractive to perspective buyers.
This is where choices should be made at the personal level. As you say, “Educate Yourself!.”
If you know what you are buying. Take time to read the label. It will tell you all you need to know. Now make the nutritional choice or the taste desire choice, and accept the consequences, good or bad.
Why would they only have 4hrs. of study? Because they’re too busy selling the garbage created by pharma so they can increase shareholder profits, A healthcare system w/ profit as their primary concern not health. Gotta love this “free market” system.
