Here's a quote from letter published in The Guardian on 1 December from Professor David Nutt, Chairman, Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs. 'It is the duty of scientific advisers to government to describe the evidence as it is, not as lobby groups would want it to be.'
I couldn't have put this better myself and I may be tempted to quote Professor Nutt in some future debates with lobby groups on food, whether they are producers, retailers, manufacturers, caterers or NGOs!
