Was watching the telly the other day. A British program came on. Showed
a grossly overweight woman in her skivvies. Not a pretty sight. Then as they explained how desperate she was to lose weight along with her two chubby young daughters and her husband, they showed little scenes of the failiy eating potato chips, then twinkies, then soda, then an ice cream bar, then they showed her piling onto the entire half of a dinner plate a huge mound of mashed potatoes about 2 1/2 to 3 inches high alongside what looked like oven baked english style french fries on the same plate. Then they cut to an "expert", obviously a nutritionist or a dietitian. She looked around the kitchen and peered into a 150 lb bag of huge potatoes. She says, "why do you need so many potatoes?", then she says (I kid you not), "I don't see anything wrong with potatoes, but I am afraid that you may be fattening them up too much." That is when I changed the channel. I can't stand such stupidity from "experts" anymore. TC |

I am afraid it is all too true( And yes, potatoes and bread are 'good'
for diets don't you know??? It seems that it is not the potato or bread that is bad for you, but what you put on it!!! Not all people in the UK are stupid) Ophelia in Scotland, on a very low carb diet and doing well) "FOB" wrote in message . net... While I was in the car today on the way to the store I heard a blurb about the British government planning to include cheese in a proposed advertising ban on junk food because it's high in fat. Of course, the dairy industry is having a fit and I have to agree with them in this case, cheese is such good stuff, low carb, nice blend of protein and fat, and such a variety of wonderful flavors. It doesn't take a whole lot of it to make an eater happy. wrote: | Was watching the telly the other day. A British program came on. | Showed a grossly overweight woman in her skivvies.

A nutritionist or dietician or medical doctor or engineer may not be an "expert", but may be merely a nutritionist or dieticain or medical doctor or engineer. It is so frikkin' ridiculous that those within our society who are the highest educated in the field of nutrition would be the most ignorant of what nutrition actually is. TC |

It is so frikkin' ridiculous that those within our society who are the highest educated in the field of nutrition would be the most ignorant of what nutrition actually is. TC in the OLD days(60's-70's-80's) doctors and nurses got very LITTLE education in nutrition. i learned more here in ASD-LC than i have ever learned about nutrition in nursing school or when i was assigned to teach diabetics! YIKES! |

YIKES! They still get very little education, and what education they get is crap. Medical people who advocate vitamins and nutrition are not helping the profession maintain their income and status and are accused of quackery. I've been refferred to as a "Lifestyle Food Cultist" in the science ng for my views on what real nutrition is. There are a lot of people and corporations whose income relies directly on the masses not understanding what real nutrition is. There is no financial gain for doctors to heal with simple nutrition.
