Just posted information on the general site regarding NuSi. NuSi's aim is to "... harness the talents of the best scientists in the field and channel their skills into one concerted effort to generate reliable knowledge, once and for all, on the nature of a healthy diet. The time is now."
Sound good to me.

    Hm. Little discouraged that there are no women on the Board of the Directors or the Scientific Advisory Board.
    There are two women on the Advisory Board - one is an administrator (presumably communications specialist) - the other is a lawyer-turned-blogger-turned writer about Happiness (I like her, but am not sure why should would be/should be involved in a scientific project on nutrition?).

    I guess the lawyer lady may be looking after legal and ethical matters. Anyhow I think it is a move in the right direction, as long as they remain open minded and are aware of their biases. I often feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall when I try to explain the philsophy behing Paleo/Primal. I now reply by saying that I no longer eat processed foods, including bread. I have also printed out information from the Diet Doctor so I can show it to those who may be interested.
