Absolutely.  Economist here from a few pages back.

Re: “science”: forty years ago, “studies” said that fat was terrible and carbs were good for you.[/b][i][u]  Turned out that nutrition is very difficult to nail down (like education), and a bunch of corporate sugar interests were able to influence nutrition studies.  If forty years ago you had used common sense and rejected those crappy sugar studies, you would have been better off.

Cars and medicine are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT scientific fields than education (and nutrition).*  Be really really careful you’re using a high-quality study before you cite an education study.

* also, note that literally *hundreds of billions of dollars* have gone into funding for medical research, just in the past 5 years. Same with automotive research, development, and testing.  Nutrition and education spend way way way less on research.[/quote]

How great was that pyramid with the huge carb section down the bottom?  Make sure to eat all that yummy bread and pasta every day!  Sigh...[/quote]
