The Shoddy Science Behind the USDA Food Pyramid - #5

On this episode, Dr. O peels back the covers on the shoddy "science" that undergirds the USDA Food Pyramid. What is the "Food Frequency Questionaire"? Since people are bad at remembering, and people aren't very honest when self-reporting, are "surveys" a valid way to do "science"? Healthy habits, healthy people, healthy food? Are they related? If so, why? The "which shoe brand do you wear" analogy? Did you know that the people who make the food are the same people who fund the research? What is "Regulatory Capture"? Naming names: the food companies who are the culprits Why we really don't have a lot of choices in our food Send Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
