1. Doug,

   Interviews in controlled media like this are generally recruitment vehicles to join a given point-of-view: “a victim’s group”.

   The bigger picture here is that this guy is part of a larger effort to establish a “victims group” to act as a force whereby political correctness on health and eating can be promulgated (ie. “food correctness”). Once this element of “correctness” is successfully inserted into the mass consciousness, the public will monitor its own behavior, which is subtly controlled and manipulated by the “victims group(s).”

   The “History of Political Correctness” documentary by William Lind describes the techniques and its roots being from the Frankfurt School of Social Research (the video is on Google video last time I checked).

2. Interesting Bert,

   I certainly don’t disagree with you generically. Numerous organizations, institutes, studies etc. created and designed by big multi national corporations that basically just lie to us about any dangers of their products, envirnmental controls, manufacturing concerns, etc. Further, I whole heartedly agree with you that there are numerous organizations, typically non profits that on the surface seem to be genuine to some “cause”. But when you dig a little, the funding comes from “somebody” either trying to make a buck or enhance their comtrol of people.

   I have a lot of respect for your comments and I did note that you said the shilling by Pollan was subtle. Here’s the transcript of an interview with him recently. Can you break it down for us – how you see it.

   Here are a couple of books that I have read that one might find interesting.
