There are few food fad movements that we support at ACSH. Organic food, for instance, is a total scam. So are most miracle diets and nutritional supplements. If you eat a relatively well-balanced diet, you're most likely going to be fine.

The thoroughly debunked myth that the world is overpopulated is still pervasive. A corollary to that myth is the belief that, as the population continues growing, we will not be able to provide enough food for everybody.
