WORLDVIEW: Scientists don’t know what a healthy diet looks like
It’s possible that there is no one healthy diet, but that we all must figure out what works for us and that science can offer us only limited guidance.

I should start this off by saying that I am pro-science. The rigorous process of gathering observable evidence and using that evidence to try to nullify cherished hypotheses is not perfect, but it's the best system we have for advancing human health, wealth, and safety.
Science works – you can tell by the way that humans have almost doubled their pre-scientific era lifespans and today live lives of unimaginable comfort (if you shower every day, have watched more than 50% of your children survive to adolescence, and travel by anything other than foot or horse, you are already enjoying a more comfortable life than, say, most of the historical reigning monarchs of England).
