    You forgot government intervention :

    Science: eating fatty food is bad for you Government: we outlaw them all

    Science: oh, some fatty foods are good Government: we outlaw all other food !

    Science: oh, some fatty foods are bad, some are good, depending on you Government: okay, seriously ... everybody alive is breaking the law. How could this possibly happen ? People simply have no respect for the laws anymore.

    Science: ... Government: obviously the solution is more laws !

    Offtopic? And the previous post he was responding to was not?
