U.S. Food Policy and the War on Science

Chris C. Mooney, author of The Republican War on Science (discussed in an earlier post here), today posted a kind review of U.S. Food Policy on his weblog.

A Very Good Blog

I want to give a shout out to U.S. Food Policy, which has very substantive content covering dietary issues and is written by a real expert, Parke Wilde. This post, about the contradiction between the Department of Agriculture's food pyramid eating recommendations on the one hand, and its promotion of the food industry on the other, is typical of the quality. Check it out.

Chris' readers visiting here for the first time may be interested in earlier posts about the use and misuse of science:

• Qualified health claims
• Dairy weight loss
• Dietary guidelines and commodity checkoff advertising
