Can’t wait for all the new year detoxes, cleanses, crazy diets, and other bullshit starting tomorrow 🙄 Brace yourselves for the #nutribollocks

[Nutrition Doc @Leicnut]

Genuinely concerned about the enormous amount of nutrition misinformation currently flying about.
Grey areas being defined as incontrovertible truths.
Non-experts being held up by government as paragons of scientific virtue.
Diet books (always poor) being lauded.

STOP IT.

We need to ‘hear’ this as this can be ‘seen’ in every classroom - shark infested waters. @dr_treisman
Trauma often leaves children ‘terrified’ of what we expect to be a safe and predictable environment.
