Federally Funded Pseudoscience

New Article Blasts Feds’ ‘Pseudoscientific Methods’ For Establishing Dietary Guidelines

An excerpt:


In many ways, what we are experiencing is the evidence of Lysenkoism [link]. The government funded researchers control the field by funding only those researchers that use the same flawed methods; they stifle progress by rejecting contradictory evidence, and immediately impugn the integrity and competence of researcher who disagree. Therefore these government funded researchers are the only beneficiaries of the status quo. Importantly, M-BMs are the perfect vehicle to perpetuate an endless cycle of ambiguous findings leading to the ever-increasing federal funding of nutrition and obesity research. 

Sounds a lot like the current state of global warming research.
