关于吃什么有营养 你信谁说的？

20160708ou 一中两外锵锵三人行 今日话题： 关于吃什么有营养 你信谁说的？ LW: Now who gets to decide what is healthy? Wu You I know you try your best to remain as healthy as possibly can, but how do you actually know what is healthy and what is not. Why have you believed them, why have you not believed them? WY: 50 percent goes to my Mum, and 50 percent goes to reports done by scientists. LW: Which scientists are the ones that actually tell you to? Which ones do you actually believe? WY: Firstly I would search online for news telling you how to remain healthy and how to keep fit. Those reports really caught my eye, then I would search for the source of this news if it is from a[credible] university or renowned news agency then I would believe it. LW: Brian where do you get your advice from? Which experts do you trust and why? BK: I don’t trust experts individually. But national and international health organizations. I would tend to put more faith in [LW: Throw some names out]. The World Health organization and, the Centre for Disease and Control. LW: Recently the FDA, the Food and Drug administration in the United States has chosen to review the foods it catergoirieses as healthy. The change comes as healthful fats like those found in nuts, or avocados fish or things like that are increasingly recognized as things that need to be part of a good diet. Now the problem is, there seems to be a discrepancy between what people believe and what the experts are saying. For example, most people believe that sushi is healthy whereas most experts say, about 78 percent of them actually, that this is not the case. If I ask you, is sushi healthy? BK: In my opinion it is, because I love Chinese food, and it contains rice vegetables and seafood, and because sushi tends to include more rice and seafood, I think it tends to be healthier than other foods. LW: What’s quite interesting about this is that I was having a little bit of a think. I think it has to do with the fact that we don’t really know. We don’t know what is healthy and what isn’t. WY: People are aware of healthy food but most people also have an awareness of unhealthy food. Most people with common sense know that fried foods or oily things can be unhealthy. LW: I looked at the survey done by the New York Times done in conjunction with Morning Consult. There seems to be - much like in the political things that we’ve seen around the world as well – there seems to be a distrust in terms of what the public seems to think about experts. Or at least experts are misunderstanding how people actually consume information because people end up worrying about the authority of it. Here’s what happens, everyday we sit in front of our computers [reading] “this thing gives you cancer”, now “that thing gives you cancer”. In the end within all of that white noise, because you’re not an expert you kind of just lose faith in the whole system in the first place.
