This is a good summary of the information trade-offs consumers deal with in deciding what foods to eat. The author identifies some of the worst purveyors of misinformation about food in this interesting article. As a good teacher, she tries to understand her students' preexisting misconceptions, misconceptions that often show up in Hacker News threads about food or nutrition. I especially like the author's curated collection of hyperlinks in the article, which lead to several important sources of information on some of the hottest nutrition debates we often see here on Hacker News. Her recommendation of the Grist series on GMOs[1] is especially helpful. [1] http://grist.org/series/panic-free-gmos/ http://grist.org/series/panic-free-gmos/
