Everybody knows something

It is an interesting thing to know a lot about food, because everybody knows a little about food. I don't know a lot about engineering or physics, so when someone tells me something about those subjects that seems remotely plausible, I tend to believe them.

Food is different.

I constantly find myself observing conversations (or arguments) between people who have heard different things (from unreliable sources) concerning food. And, even more aggravating, I have found that people don't like it when I interrupt and tell them who is right. Not only do they not like it, they tend not to believe me and continue in the argument, convinced that what they read/ heard/or made up is the truth.

Case in point: A few weeks ago I was at FHE and I observed a conversation/ argument about protein and exercise. Neither of the participants knew of my experience in the nutrition field, but another innocent bystander did and we were able to laugh about it together.

Anyway the point is that by the time you are in an argument about whether you should be eating protein before or after you work out you have already decided that your opinion is right. I offer you a solution. Let me know your burning question and I will do some research and offer you my opinion (and maybe some expert opinions as well). That way you will at least be able to site some sources while you are battling it out.
