1. Government should never tell us what we can eat or drink and when they do, they are frequently wrong.

When the federal government’s 1980 “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” warned about the baleful effects of saturated fats, public interest activists managed to persuade food companies to switch to the shiny new alternative: trans fats.

So much for settled science.
Even science-fueled food fads prove to be wrong
