And that's where the government constantly fails us. It makes enough mistakes that people start treating everything is says with skepticism, and often rightly so. But it's not a big step to doubting government recommendations for diet to doubting government recommendations for vaccinations, even though the two subjects are not equivalent at all. Things get even more complicated when the government does things like subsidize corn, which has a negative effect on the diet of Americans through the increased use of corn syrup in practically everything. People make fun of the anti-vaxxers, and they certainly are wrong, but we in this discussion are criticizing the government's diet recommendations as being misguided, it's not hard to see where people would view other government recommendations and mandates with suspicion.
