I've been very confused in the last couple decades about who the experts truly are. On one hand you have government agencies that hire "experts", and on the other hand you have the New York Times, Hacker News, Reddit, and CNN. There was a time when we thought the government was best to listen to, but now with the murder of George Floyd and the election of QAnoner Donald Trump and neoliberal Joe Biden I'm not so sure that they have our best interests in mind. Plus demonizing the press is textbook fascism.
In my view the real experts are writing for the New York Times, tirelessly searching for contradictions and ulterior motives in science so that the public may know the truth. Time and time again the press has shown that the real health foods are bacon, pork, and butter, and that we must avoid heart-disease causing foods such as rice, potatoes, fruit and carrots.

But its less beneficial for me to say that directly because then others would rather debate how both sides are different instead of acknowledging the overlapping areas of concern where they are the same. Good luck with your approach of random non-sequiturs and false positives.
