Advocating for doctors to be more educated on nutrition is definitely a good thing. That being said, I question how much it would actually help make better lifestyle choices. Everyone knows what kind of foods lead to poorer health and complications as they age. They just don’t care or are not in a position to care.
I wouldn’t say everyone knows. My father thinks Caesar salad is healthy and recently told me he learned that cans have nutritional labels on them, but he doesn’t understand them.
Honestly, that sounds more like willful ignorance more than anything else. I mean sure technically, some generations didn’t have as comprehensive health education in school, but still.
