Chinese Food and the Naderites

Consider this adequate warning: any affiliation with any of Ralph Nader's Public Interest organizations will be considered justifiable grounds for all sorts of pestering, including hard labor, in the Keilholtz Dictatorship. Here it is published in full view of the world, so no whining that you did not know any better.

Here, for instance, we are treated to a story about one of the Center for Science (sic) in the Public Interest's (sic, sick) periodic naggings. It is one of their regular finger wagging reports indicting whole cuisines, this time Chinese ( they had already done this one, so perhaps they are at the end of their creativity?). Too much sodium, too large portions, etc.

Not just at the Gao Si Canton Gardens in West Peoria, but "Chinese restaurant food." Everywhere. Also, they warn, Mexican and Italian is bad, too.

Now, perhaps the report is not as badly done as it sounds, you will never know from reading in the press, because most reporters, in fact, nearly all of them, are incapable of reading and understanding a scientific paper. They rarely check the numbers, they don't even bother, in most cases, to report as to whether or not the study was primary or secondary research. They simply interview a few people and print what they hear. The more they hear the same thing, the truer it is (see smoke, secondhand). Instead of evaluating the data and the interpretation thereof, they fawn over the credentials of the scientist doing the report, and consider that they have "dug deep into it" if they figure out who financed the report (because, in the little brain of a typical reporter, money always corrupts, and nothing else ever corrupts).
