Weight Maven is written by Beth Mazur. Beth believes that obesity is more symptom than cause and that the real problem is our Western diet -- especially sugar, refined grains, and industrial oils. Beth writes about nutrition, ancestral health, & food policy. And cats! 
Dr. Freedhoff said, “We need to level the playing field. There really aren’t any shortages of things we can do to regulate the food industry’s practice of misinforming consumers.”
The food industry has gotten away with misinforming consumers for many decades because it first figured out how to misinform academia. Of necessity, politicians rely upon experts. When the vast majority of experts are misinformed, public policy gets shaped accordingly.

Great video, Beth. Thanks for posting it. I put it up on my FaceBook home page. I hope others do too.
Fantastic video, It’s too bad they didn’t let him present it, but I’m glad he posted it for others to see. I will share this video too.
