bad science?
Not that I've seen the videos yet, I'll get around to that.
But I know in the states, the food industry pretty much manages themselves and lobbyists fight to provide food as cheap as possible with being as least transparent as possible. I would wager like the tobacco lobbyists used to.
So I'd rather say, it's science motivated with the wrong intentions.
I'd like to add that corn is heavy subsidized in the states too, so farmers are forced to grow only that crop.
What happens then? When a lot of our food comes from corn or corn derivatives? Foods very low in nutrition and high in calories. There's epicdemic going on theses days where people are getting under nurished but over fed/obese.
