I was delighted to see it, but it made me think how hard it must be for medical researchers who buck the prevailing wisdom.

I suddenly wondered if there were any way we could support researchers, or help them feel like what they're doing is important... I dunno.

Thoughts?

I was wondering if we should start a little campaign. Like every time we find a new publication that is anti-dieting (even if not happy with fat? only if happy with fat?) we could send a standard thank you e-mail, saying 'Your publication has helped someone today--me. Many thanks.'

It must be hard to buck the trend all the time, and be isolated by all your professional peers. It must be wickedly hard to get published and to advance your career. I was just trying to imagine how to be encouraging to such folks.
