This really, really pisses me off. It wasn't "science" that failed Adams' parents' generation, it was the media that was bought out by the same PR firms that are buying articles against global warming today[1][2]. There are issues with science to be sure, and one should always be free to criticize and call things out when one sees them, but this article is such garbage. You know where 95% of the bullshit in diet and fitness comes from? Greedy snake oil salespeople trying to make a quick buck off of desperate people looking for a quick fix. It has absolutely nothing to do with "science".
