It's a scam, it's a scandal, it's certainly rather immoral and it's been covered up by

multiple governments because they feel that it's much more important to have jobs in

factories making biscuits, for example, in their constituency than to actually create a

better healthier food environment.

Tim, what do you mean by why almost everything we've been told about food is wrong?

I mean that most of the stuff in textbooks you read on government websites that you

hear in the media are giving us completely the wrong idea about food and are based on

out-of-date concepts about nutrition and food that came from the war years and starvation

and really have no place in our modern world.

There are some facts that are correct, there are many that are not and I think it's really

a total misunderstanding now that we've got to deal with.

So give us the facts you think are correct, the main ones and then let's go into all the

things you think are wrong.

Eating more fruits and vegetables, eating more fibre, they're all good.

Eating less fat is not correct.

Eating regularly throughout the day, never skipping meals is incorrect.

Exercising to reduce weight is incorrect.

Reducing, having low calorie foods is incorrect, having low fat substitutes for whole fat

is incorrect.

So depending on which the guidelines you're looking at, they're probably the main ones,

the main myths and the particular one that overrides all of these is that calorie counting

is a successful way to lose weight.
