Video time: Plant Chompers on nutrition misinformation
I was induced to watch all of this video because Chris MacAskill, whom I do not know personally but who quoted me a couple of times briefly in a previous show, starts out his investigations by displaying my book Food Politics.
This is titled, “How Food Myths SPREAD: Fact Checking Dr David Diamond”
I don’t know Dr. Diamond either, but he has some unusual and quite strong opinions about nutrition, which MacAskill, a historian, demolishes one after another.
MacAskill checks references, demonstrates the flaws in statements taken out of context, and does so carefully, compellingly, and entertainingly.
This is really worth watching (and I do appreciate the shout outs).
