Yeah... No. You're wrong. That is exactly what the scientific method is designed to do.
I think there's a direct correlation between the obesity epidemic & processed / GMO foods. 40-50 years ago we didn't have this problem .

40-50 years ago people were starving more. Opportunity to eat more and more nutrient rich foods.
Science doesn't ask why, it asks who...
Who is going to fund me to do a study, and what do they want the result to be? Its not exactly a mystery that various industries simply shop for "scientists" to concoct studies to support their agenda.
Even the US government has admitted to doing it frequently in the past... heck that's how marijuana was banned!
And the other issue of course is that perception of scientific consensus is often very political, and those in power get to paint the narrative. Is aspartame safe, or does it cause cancer? Well, scientists that are funded by industries that profit tremendously from the multi-billion dollar diet soda and other such food markets will say its perfectly safe. Others might point to some studies that show there may be long term consequences.
Regarding questions of "food safety" though like in their example, its actually better to err on the side of non-scientists. Scientists after all proclaimed in the past that various things were perfectly safe, only to change that opinion as evidence was collected to the contrary.
That means that scientists won't say something is unsafe until they can PROVE its unsafe, whereas the average consumer generally looks at it from a totally different perspective assuming something is unsafe to eat until its PROVEN that it is safe (usually by vetting it over a long period of time).

You know how many products the FDA said were just fine only to pull them from the market years later? Some distrust and skepticism of industry experts is warranted since big bucks often take a back seat to caution.Zarathustra[H];1041397954 said:It's a real problem when the voting general public doesn't believe the experts in their fields...
How do you think people get obese they take in many more nutrients than they can use up. You do realize food cost the most it ever had in the US during the 70's... 40-50 years ago." nutrient rich foods "...LOL . Tell that to all the Morbidly Obese people who can barely walk . People weren't starving 40- 50 years ago , they just ate better quality less processed foods . Organic is way better if you can afford it .
When an expert is defined as someone who gets the most money from the government to support as particular agenda, then more power to them.Zarathustra[H];1041397954 said:It's a real problem when the voting general public doesn't believe the experts in their fields...
