Science is a process of understanding the world. No process or tool has yet been found to work better. When he insults science, he really means "Scientific consensus." I agree that there are huge problems with this, as consensus has little to do with science, and everything to do with mass media and government agendas. Something as politically charged as food with competing agendas of agriculture subsidies, environmental impacts, and public health and welfare is bound to be so controversial as to resist a clear message. So Scott and I are in agreement about this: what the media and our leaders have been, are, and will continue to tell of about nutrition is probably utter nonsense. And in their attempts to shove their agenda down the public's throats, they will wave around cherry-picked questionable "science" and accuse their detractors of ignorance. That's how effective PR works. I would see this as a failure of the press and our elected officials. Mr. Adams sees it as a failure of science. But what is his alternative? I don't know, but I do know that when somebody first tries to convince you that reason and evidence are not to be trusted, what they want to convince you of is probably not in your best interest.
