Yeah I think it was more of a hyperbolic comment to the reporter rather than an official recommendation. He thinks we should eat more greens and less fried stuff, which is in line with pretty much every nutritional guideline out there

I always get suspicious when the headline says something along “scientist says you should”. Because typical scientistic statements are more conditional: “If you do A, B might happen”, or even “B becomes more likely”.
Checking the actual quote:
“I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries, […]”
Yeah, really good reporting…

At least for empirical research, I would go even further and say that most individual studies don’t hold much weight and that the authors of such studies shouldn’t receive too much credence until their findings have been replicated multiple times by independent researchers.

Remember, the point of reporting today is not to inform, but to gain clicks.
