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
