Still no science though. One exec's views in a large company doesn't equal science.

If exec's views are science/truth. Then I bet you would have found execs in tobacco companies who thought they were doing good.

True, it's not science. It is however the intention.

I don't understand why people are so against this? Isn't it possible that people do research to determine the validity of what they read online?

Is it possible for the people to do research and avoid junk food, smoking and alcohol? (Also, to understand the danger of the climate change.)
