Agree that the data of the 50s mean little. I'm talking about a different problem, which is more social/behavioral than scientific. Understanding the nuances of WWI, II probably add little to understanding ISIL, but that's the "wrong" history. If ISIL is the focus, at least IMO, understanding FDR's relationship with Abdulaziz Ibn Saud does help, even though it took place 80 years ago. Our work in cancer and AD will be different, but in obesity there is likely no addressing the problem without some appreciation for how this mess was created. From: Jeffrey E.

To make that case, GT needs to explain the history of how we got there. Can I understand WWII without understanding WWI? Maybe, but not nearly as well. Can a president make a rationale decision about invading Iraq without understanding the history of the tribes that make it up? Apparently not. Read this through the lens of "How can I take Peter seriously when he says X or Y about nutrition, when it so clearly flies in the face of my friends at NIH, CDC, FDA, ARA, ADA, ...?"
