As much as those crazy health claims drive me nuts (the crystal lite immune booster has my mother evangelizing for it. ug), I’m one who’s against just about all regulation as it seems to limit freedom. I want to be able to claim that I lost weight by upping my coconut oil intake on my blog without having to fund a huge study and publish a peer reviewed article in a medical journal, you know?

I haven’t eaten packaged food in months now…with the exception of a bag of lentils I had to get recently ‘cuz they were out of bulk. I heard about this Kelloggs thingy just this week. The idea that anything called Cocoa Krispies could in anyway NOT be detrimental to our health is just…I can’t find the words…

Kellog’s has withdrawn the claim that Cocoa Krispies boosts childrens’ immune systems. They did so on the advice of their nutritionist, Count Chocula.

I found this funny on another website.

Well, so much for staying immune from disease this winter with a morning bowl of sugar, err, cereal. http://tinyurl.com/yhds6yz

we can’t trust the FDA because we can’t trust the government bureaucrats in the first place. more government regulation and teeth will only hurt the little guy and the small family co-op. american citizens are too compliant. we are a nation of sheep being lead by wolves and it is utter foolishness to expect these wolves, with vested financial interest to know what is right and true for my health and second, to enforce honest intentioned policies.

Hi Kristen,

When I finish my Naturopathy degree I plan to go into nutrtional research.
I agree with you how they(scientists etc) have a reductionist approach to food. I think it’s so silly considering food is not one nutrient but a whole food and food does not act as one nutrient but as many macronutrents and micronutriets that act synergistically. But I can also understand it would be difficult to test whole foods and diets as there are so many factors involved in doing that.
The way I think about it is they shouldn’t have to have so much evidence to eat certain things we know are healthy (and are common sense). But this isn’t really the case, because not everyone knows what really is healthy, so of course nutritional science and research is so very important.

You know how you wrote”is it old?”, what do you mean by that?

Michelle.
