...nutrition info is the government? Vegetarians and Vegans: Would you trust a professor if they said the only reputable source for nutritional information is the United States government? This is a dietetics professor.
Her and I were talking and I mentioned a website--She said I should look and see who made the website and what their agenda is, since most places have an agenda when reporting nutrition information, and the only place to trust is the government.
I felt like saying that the government is the biggest agenda-orientated, for-profit organization there is, esp. when it comes to nutrition!, but I held my tongue.
What do you think? Would you take what this lady tells you with a grain of salt and just learn the material to pass the exams but do your own research on the side if you're curious to know if the gov. is really right? Or would you take what she says as the truth, since it is the government telling you this and we all know the government doesn't lie?
