    Thanks Gianfranco, I've signed. Although I'm UK based our dietary guidelines seem to follow the same pattern of the US. I find myself constantly having to 'enlighten' my friends when they worry about eating too much salt & fat, when they should be worrying about the excessive amount of sugar & carbs. Many of them are health conscious & following the official dogma. The result is that most of the older ones are diabetic or pre-diabetic, have stubborn middle/belly fat (even though they excercise) the over 70's have all had some form of cataract/eye surgery & some are taking statins. I despair at the poor dietary advice we have been told to follow, it's ruining our health & going to bankrupt the NHS

    I just signed. Given the current political climate here in the United States of Corporate Profits, it's probably spitting in the wind. But we do what we can.

    I'm in Canada so I know nothing will happen here.... Because legalizing marijuana is a much more crcucial health care matter.

    Of course, if Trudeau can get in a hug and a selfie he might feign interest. Ugh.

    Even though, like @fivetw0 I too am in the UK, I signed because we have an awful lot of negative food trends and bad advice being promoted and it's time it stopped. Really, it is.
