Volek’s Dietary Guidelines Petition Closing in on 10,000 Signatures

Change.org: Demand that quality science determine the 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines
In other news, that petition that got passed around on some major blogs, for the BMJ to retract Nina Teicholz’s critique of the guidelines, that petition is stuck at 73 signatures.
The reasons given on Change.org are either "Go Vegan!" (I guess dietary dogma for plant based solutions is OK from this 'proud defender of Science') or that Nina doesn't have a background in science so she should just STFU.
Strangely, the person driving the petition actually thinks Nina's statements in the BMJ are correct (from the blog where she cyber stalks the LC community):
"They say the article is fact checked. I haven't seen any of her usual glaring inconsistencies, like claims that we have cut fat from 43% to 33%, but the facts hardly seem to be the biggest issue here anymore. "
That's right...she's got all her facts straight but I'm still insane with obsessive anger and looking to destroy this person's career because...well...because!!!! GO VEGAN! She's not a SCIENTIST!!! I am scientist!!
Nutters will always nut it up.
By the way, this crank's claim to be a scientist as hogwash. Nothing published under her name.
I'm thinking this is a sad sorry woman who never had kids and is in a loveless marriage and rather than helping people, she just wants to tear them down.
She would post this crap on the weekends too.
What a sad life. Insulting people and making fun of them like this on your time off from work.
She has a small band of lunatic vegans and body builders who love her.
