Dietary advice or ideology?
It has been downhill all the way in terms of overweight, obesity and type two diabetes since the introduction of low fat dietary guidelines in the early 1980’s. The next Australian version will no longer even pretend to be about the nutrition the human body needs. The minister says, “trust the experts”. Can you?

Hands off Toasties
West Australia is to ban ham and cheese toasties in school canteens. Two issues. One is that it is based on flawed dietary guidelines which penalise foods which are not high in carbohydrates. Secondly food choices is a role for parents and guardians not the nanny state.
