10 things the food industry doesn’t want you to know

October 20, 2008

Adam Voiland of U.S. News and World Report interviewed David Ludwig and me for this story based on our recent JAMA article.  He’s packed a lot of information into these 10 categories, which start with #1, the billions advertisers spend on marketing to kids, and end with #10, food industry attacks on critics (this means me).  Check out the links!

  1. It is not needed to avoid oil and clarified butter from food. Because It increases digestive fire so that food digests easily, increase strength, strength sensitive organ and make your skin glowing. It maintains lubrication between joints and reduces the risk of joint diseases.

  2. I am sure you wear the food industry remarks as a badge of honour.
    You’re definitely a saint.

  4. I want to start by saying…I LOVE YOU MARION NESTLE! :o) I am so happy to find your site today! I have been eating unprocessed and organic foods as much as I can possibly afford for about 4 years now. It’s amazing what a little research and education can do for your menu! All my friends think I’m crazy. When they think their child has ADHD or is getting fat, they would rather put their child on drugs than to try eating healthy food! It’s so sad that they won’t even take the time to change their menu because it is just too easy to eat crap! Anyway, I just wanted to say that I cannot wait to delve into your site more. I am so excited! Thank you!

  5. ha ha ha! i just read the bio on you posted by the center for consumer freedom. awesome! they accuse you of being a regular arugula-eating, new york times-reading, radical socialist! the horror! i’m surprised they didn’t just come out and call you a terrorist.

    i think you can really know when you’re on the right track when groups like CCF target you. keep up the great work!!
