Whether really from a professor of nutrition, or not, your comment was from someone with some experience in this area, I think, and so I felt it worth responding to the issues raised.
So someone who knows what they’re talking about manages to get through the comments carapace.
This, I suggest, is disingenuous. You seek spurious accuracy as an excuse for inaction, and yet you must know three things.
Good Lord the man’s a tosser, ain’t ‘ee?
I really think the world is crying out for Richie’s nutrition blog, complete with topless photos.
Lemme guess…. Spud’s on his Evil F00d chair again?
You have to admit… There literally is no limit to the things he knows nothing about which he considers himself an Expert in.
Every time you *think* he will show some adult self-restraint and “wisdom”, he is quick to shatter any delusion that he might even posess the capacity to “Adult” **.
The living embodyment of the principle that those who can’t, “teach”.
**defined here as the capability/realisation you cannot know Everything, nor are you capable of Everything.
A state of mind most people hit between puberty and adolescence. Usually through Hard Knocks rubbing it in. Either by other people or Mother Nature. The latter is generally less …forgiving….

The other was that a lot of people have donated a coffee to me this year, and to them I want to say thank you. I appreciate it. That support made a difference.
And I’m sure the geezer sits by the bus station with his dog on a string & his plastic cup would say the same.
If he wasn’t so stupid I’d assume he was cutting and pasting parts of the post from a template:
Let me begin by noting that you are an academic in a field where funding from industry or industry-front organisations is commonplace. I note no mention of this on your website, either for you or your department. Might you please disclose all such sources of funding? I think it would be appropriate for you to do so. For the record, I have none relating to this issue.
I don’t know where the it’s the fake sincerity or the self- righteousness that’s more nauseating – as if he hasn’t been leeching off the taxpayer and ‘third sector’ for many decades.
Certainly I am hoping his plans for 2025 including bumping into a MAGA rally and perhaps as a result suffering long term hospitalisation. Or perhaps he can go out to Palestine and lecture the IDF on MMT
Pure evil without any redeeming features.

The stupidity is the redeeming feature.
In a crowded field, has there ever been anyone take themselves so seriously with such little justification?
Sir Keir Starmer?
Charles Pooter
sqawkbox: you want topless pics of Herr Kartoffel?? I think you need a lie down
Um what happened to my smiley?
“spurious accuracy”
Hilarious. What a cock.
The Royal Institution Xmas Lectures, which used to be a “must watch” for me a decade or two ago, are being given by Dr Chris van Tulleken, a GP with a specialism in tropical medicine and no specialist nutritional expertise, banging on about “ultra-processed foods”. I’ll bet he can’t define what makes processed food ‘ultra’.
