Nice to see what I hope is the beginning of a “superfoods” backlash, spearheaded by Sense About Science and their Ask For Evidence campaign, together with the British Dietetic Association:
Bioversity’s DG Ann Tutwiler gave the compellingly titled presentation On NOT finding the world’s next superfood at the Kew shindig a couple of weeks back, but, annoyingly, undermined her own message on the importance of agrobiodiversity for diverse diets by repeatedly using the term she was supposedly debunking. ((In my view, based on the slides only. I wasn’t there, so perhaps the message came across more clearly live. Please do tell me if I’m wrong.))
The BDA message is much more straightforward.
