DEAR SIR: I am a doctor who reads The Lancet weekly. A critique of their recent outrageous article needs to be written. They promote reduction of beef, chicken and dairy produce by 50-90%. They appoint a group of think “experts” to form a panel and launch a broadside on meat and dairy produce.
DEAR SIR: I am a doctor who reads The Lancet weekly. A critique of their recent outrageous article needs to be written.
They promote reduction of beef, chicken and dairy produce by 50-90%. They appoint a group of think “experts” to form a panel and launch a broadside on meat and dairy produce.
They are an agenda-driven journal (as are most journals) and strive to manoeuvre public opinion to suit their goals.

Anyone could assemble a panel of experts to say what you want them to say.
