Virginia Messina, author of The Dietitian’s Guide to Vegetarian Diets responded to my post about the new study indicating that animal fat is not very dangerous to your health. Two things to note: one, the study was supported by the National Dairy Council and Unilever Corporate Research, and two, Messina’s response was written for a site that promotes veganism. This is a good time to remember Robert Anton Wilson’s motto: “Be open to anything, but skeptical of everything.” (RAW was probably even skeptical of his motto.)
