How much of that could be avoided if people were educated how to eat right? Just the other day I read an article from a certified nutritionist where she said a low-fat diet is the key to losing weight and staying healthy. In 2011, how insane is it that we're still reading crap like that? She never said a single word about carbs, high GI foods, processed carbs, insulin response, good carbs.....nothing. Nothing about whole grains, nothing about the differences in fat, and nothing about eating more protein.
Just low fat.

Just wondering- did the article list her credentials, what constitutes a 'certified nutritionist' I wonder. I mean, here in the States, a 'certified nutritionist' can be anyone who goes to a 7 day certification course- I assume in Canada it's entirely different. I would guess it would be much more difficult to get 'certification?'
I don't like that people who are looking for real help have to sort through so many 'opinions.' Sounds like you're more qualified to write the article
