Have you seen Ben Goldacre's rebuttal of the rebuttal?

interesting
I disagree with that, I must say. I think it's inaccurate to try to separate health from environment, and I think the SA's comment on that is fair. After all we are part of our world, not separate from it.
I must actually spend some time reading the SA position, I mostly put it here so I could read it once home - I can't read too much at WWF, pesky overhead lighting.

I think Dr Goldacre's initial sentence is unfortunate, but I do agree with his basic points

i may agree more with you than the guy on the link :-)
tho as I say I actually need to read both the fsa thingy properly and the sa thing too :-)
