My frustration with this study, at least as reported, is that the diet recommendations are founded on outdated assumptions about food quality.

E.g., the recommendaion of one serving of fish per week: where do mercury and microplastics fit in? Or the diet that recommends peanut oil but doesn't mention afflatoxin.

When experts fail to put recommendations into a bigger context, I have to do that myself -- which takes the "public" part out of public health (again). 2/n

I would also love any experts who give food & nutrition advice to do the following:

- Calculate a month of wages at minimum wage;
- Deduct taxes, etc.;
- Deduct local average accommodation costs;
- Now inform us how exactly someone can buy the food you're recommending on the money that's left.

Oh. So it's not "public health" it's "public health for those who can pay to play [and the rest are on their own]. Got it.

(I'm tired how divorced from reality so much "advice" is in any context.) 3/n
