But when it comes to our food, this is a strange sort of conspiracy: Everybody is in on it.
The large food corporations are in on it. The local grass fed beef farmer is in on it. Your local mom and pop ice cream store is in on it. Joe's Bar and Grille is in on it. The Drug companies are in on it. Your doctor is in on it (unless your doctor is Dr. McDougall). Your next door neighbor who is cooking up a pork fest for the neighborhood is in on it. Your aunt Claire who makes you a banana custard pie is in on it.

The only new-ish thing was the reticence of the "environmental" organizations, and that's not really news, either.

Perhaps I should print myself a factsheet!
And yes, I have been recommending people to watch it.
