The insidious thing about most misinformation/conspiracy theories is that there is a small nugget of truth in them

Exactly. And the last four years conditioned us to not question "misinformation".

Portion sizes are 2 or 3 times the size they were in 1970. A 'medium' soda today was called a Big Gulp when I was a kid. Our food has stuff in it that other countries have banned. We put sugar in everything. Food is engineered specifically to be more addictive

And what has been done to our food is a great example. And what -- if anyone cares to admit what nugget of truth there is in the "conspiracy theory" about our diets -- is at the core of a lot of today's ills. But there will never be a consensus of this among "experts" so I have to believe what I believe. "Oh, then yer stoopid." Fine, I guess I'll remain stupid figuring things out for myself.
