Haha me too. I remember a few years ago (or probably more like 15 now) I was visiting my mother and in the car from the airport she was telling me "did you hear its okay to eat eggs again?" >_< (there was a widespread link to cancer which was reversed)

Somehow we have got to the point where the'recommended daily quota' of fruit and veg is something insane like 10 a day (I can't find gov.uk stats but a lot of newspaper articles etc).

Is it so hard to understand "put shit in and you become shit"? Why does anyone need to be told?

Is it so hard to understand that you should eat good quality and varied foods? That you don't need to swear off kebabs forever but don't do them every day? That putting more in than you use makes you bigger and putting less in smaller?

Did you read the article? The premise was A) the food you order is not the food you get and B) the food you get is loaded with contaminants that you cannot detect.

And all you got from that is "Is it so hard to understand"?

Yes, yes it is.

You remember all the talk about BPA plastic being bad for you and an endocrine disruptor? Do you really think people should just "know" that fact before science verifies?

And being skinny does not mean being healthy. That's just one metric.

From the HN Guidelines:

Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article.

It's a legitimate question in the context of what we are discussing.
