Junk policy
“There are no consequences healthwise in eating ultra-processed foods until the body says enough! Then we run for medical help. If eating ultra-processed foods was deemed dangerous like smoking, drugs and alcohol when consumed continuously, would this invoke a change in social policy to address our weakness in adopting these pleasurable additions?”
Otto Lechner

“I am very disturbed by reports of planned cuts to CSIRO funding, leading to research job losses. Our national science agency needs to be well funded as an investment in Australia’s future. In an age of political misinformation, science remains as a provider of facts.”
Ralph Carlisle, Brisbane
