NPR and Diets

 In the past week, I listened to a NPR podcast.  To be honest, maybe around the 1990 to 2000 era....I caught three hours of NPR a week, and lately....in an average year...it's about two hours (for the whole year).  

So this podcast was an odd piece.  This was a diet-authority person.....being interviewed, and basically telling people to take a stand....refuse to be weighed at the doctor's office....refuse to give them your weight....and refuse to confirm or deny your current nutrition situation.

It was a rather shocking 'stand' to take, with NPR more or less validating the idea.

Far left agenda?  Well....back in the 1990 to 2000 era....that was the weekly problem I had with their news program.  

This anti-diet agenda?  Well....I could sign up for something like this, and be a full-fledged member.  The odds that this was a one-time mistake and some intern with the NPR-club screwed up?  Well.....yeah, that's probably a 80-percent chance.

An indicator that NPR is changing into something else?  Maybe.
