The Weston A. Price Foundation is, according to their website, a "nutrition education foundation." By "nutrition education", they mean telling people meat and dairy[1] are good, and fruit and vegetables[2][3] are bad.

They promote various dubious ideas and therapies:

  • Homeopathy[4]
  • Chemophobia
  • "Natural" supplements[5]
  • Coconut oil[5]
  • The absolutely, postively, categorically undeniable fact that the modern increase in cancer rates is due to the grains in our diets[6]
  • Sunlight prevents melanoma[7]
  • "Eat only foods that will spoil, but eat them before they do."[5] (You can count on the WAPF to give you priceless life-saving advice!)
