The Shoddy Science Behind the USDA Food Pyramid - #5

On this episode, Dr. O peels back the covers on the shoddy "science" that undergirds the USDA Food Pyramid.

• What is the "Food Frequency Questionaire"?
• Since people are bad at remembering, and people aren't very honest when self-reporting, are "surveys" a valid way to do "science"?
• Healthy habits, healthy people, healthy food? Are they related? If so, why?
• The "which shoe brand do you wear" analogy?
• Did you know that the people who make the food are the same people who fund the research? What is "Regulatory Capture"?
• Naming names: the food companies who are the culprits
• Why we really don't have a lot of choices in our food
