What are they afraid of? I am reading Nina's book on my Kindle as I write this and she makes a lot of sense.

Blocking scientific discussion/consideration is - unscientific.

The first amendment is valuable to science too. And, potatoes? Seriously?!

It's not the heavy hand of the market, it's the heavy hand of cronyism. Common mistake.

Food policy needs voices from people who understand contolling blood sugar through liw carb high fat diet!

As a physician who suspected all along that the "meat, dairy and eggs are bad for you" was a hoax, I can't tell you how pleased I was to see an investigative journalist devote some of the most productive years of her life to exposing the myth of how natural animal fat has been vilified. Her book KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!! I have given copies to all our cardiologists (most of whom already knew it was a myth, fortunately), and to all my friends. As I tell my patients, the conventional wisdom in America will keep you sick and fat. Getting my patients to do the opposite has reversed more cases of Diabetes and gotten more patients off of Insulin than anything I have ever found. Nina is a hero, and so many patients are grateful that she shattered the glass castle of delusion we had been living in for more than 50 boringly bland tasting years. To exclude her from the panel smacks of corruption and widens the divide between the traditional and conventional failed thinking of the government funded institutions and "powers that be" in medicine and the rapidly exploding personal health movement that shuns monied interests and has quite impressively hit on the truth of the diet-health connection and the amazing properties and healing powers of real natural foods, including natural saturated fats from meat, butter, cream, cheese, whole milk and cholesterol from eggs. Inviting her into the discussion is your best hope of reuniting the two sides.

Education is valuable and power, Censorship is a weakness and fear of knowledge. Remember that in your title you allege interest interest in the consumer. Do not practice censorship. Practice open debate based on empirical scentific evidence, not poltical obfuscation.

Reinvite Nina Teicholz to the Food Policy Panel conference for diversity and unbiased representation.

We need people that represent the public, not food industry pundits!

Policy -- even, or especially, food policy -- can't be deliberated in a vacuum. Nina belongs on this panel. Michael Jacobsen has veto power over a vital public debate?

They ought to be ashamed of themselves. They need to take a look at the population of people, grossly overweight and sickly.... Due to the poisoning of America by big money marketing.

Read The Big Fat Surprise if anyone has any doubts about Teicholz's intellect, knowledge, and ability to serve on the panel.

This panel is too important to turn into a political tool for business rather than a serious examination of health.
