Study Links Practices Of Food And Tobacco Industries

More from Kelly Brownell or is it Belly Brownell? (see below for pics of this expert)

"In a review and analysis of tobacco and food industry practices, leading researchers from Yale University and the University of Michigan pinpoint similarities in strategies used across both industries.

This research, which appears in the March issue of Millbank Quarterly, identifies parallels in areas such as emphasizing personal responsibility, influencing government and professional organizations, paying scientists who produce favorable research, and marketing 'safer' products. The authors encourage the food industry to change both marketing and nutritional practices to avoid negative consequences to the health of consumers.

'While we recognize the inherent differences between cigarettes and food, the food industry must accept responsibility for what they are selling and how they are selling it,' said Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University. 'Consumers have a right to accurate information-not just spin-about the safety and nutritional value of the food they are eating.'"

Now, here is the guy who claims to know the info and how he offers consumers "accurate information."

This was a "real" expert in weight loss's idea of "accurate information" for you consumers, courtesy of Belly Brownell.

Before you buy his advice or his program, ask yourself, "When will he 'accept responsibility for what [he is] selling and how [he is] selling it'?"
