Researchers also announced man is the cause of global warming, milk causes cancer and it takes a village to raise a child.... are we picking and choosing which researcher we believe?

Yes we are, assuming we have the ability to read critically and apply our own experiences and those of people we know to what we read.

What you do is evaluate the methodology and how experiment matches theory, in the case of MMGW you have a theory unsupported by empirical data, same with the sociology stuff. Dairy products and the Dept of Agriculture Food pyramid is certainly inferior to the PaleoDiet, in this case you have studies supported by empirical data.

Fundamentally different situation. It’s a science thing.

Government doesn’t have a right to regulate plants that are part of the ecosystem.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Genesis 1:29

There is research to the contrary for each of those claims; where is the contrary research here?

Or do you recommend we disbelieve everything scientists say?
