#3For decades, government ______ only to find out later that it was really bad.
The social engineering has got to stop. A free people should not be subject to the latest schemes of self-appointed masterminds. The most evident and dangerous venue for such engineering is the public schools, in which the government subjects our children to every sort of social experiment, and what have we to show for it?

The US is somewhat unique in that there is a lot less tradition. Many "Old world" countries have millenia of established culture. How to live and eat healthy. Instead the US falls back to experimental science and corporations to define good health.

Well, I guess government follows the scientific conclusions and recommendations. Some might turn out to be wrong and we unlearn them. Science does make mistakes, but that's the best we've got. We can't leave it to intuitions of the masses.

#6I've switch my family to all whole-milk unhomogenized dairy products (if I can find it). Why should I pay more for less calories and modified fat?

A naive view, at best. You're forgetting all about politics and special interests.

Precisely the mindset of the power elite that gets us into so much trouble.

I view the "established culture" you mention as science too..based on certain observations. It's not that all traditional methods are inferior or superior. We constantly re-evaluate as we evolve.

Well, take vaccinations for example. Would you better leave it to the people to decide? I'm sure half won't take them.
EDIT: I do understand the corporate influence, but we could find a way to build unbiased scientific institutions if with collective global will.
