Must reads in food politics this week

I’m traveling this week and can’t keep up with the food politics reading.  Here’s what I’m not able to comment on until I get some more time:

• The BMJ’s article on the Minnesota Heart Study and its never-published data casting doubt on the risks of saturated fat (here’s what the Washington Post says about it).
• The Guardian’s article on the “sugar conspiracy“
• The study demonstrating an increase in BPA and phthlates in the blood of people eating fast food
• The draft of the House Agricultural Appropriations bill

I’m interested to hear your thoughts on any or all of these.  I will catch up with them eventually…
