I agree Kim;
Doctors are not in the business of health, they are in the business of
treating disease.

Greetings,
Then answer the question: how many people do you know that don't take
drugs, daily?
I have been in the US for 13 years and have yet to find a doctor that knows
anything about diet. And no, not just rural doctors. If the doctors are
so great, then why is our health care so bad? Sorry, but it is not
horseshit, I talk to people constantly all over the US on the internet that
have no idea how to get healthy, because their doctors don't know. I
assume there are some that do bother to learn, but it is not part of the
medical school teaching.
Bright Blessings,
Kim

Kim, I don't mean to be harsh, but that is utter and complete horseshit.
My sister and her husband, both internists, counsel patients on diet,
heart disease and diabetes every single day. Nor are they some wierdos
outside the mainstream for doing so.
Here is the AMA clinical road map for *dietary* management of adult obesity.

Here are the ADA clinical practice guidelines for 2006:

Maybe the white haired country docs in rural Texas are ignorant of
current practice recommendations, but I find your sweeping
generalization to be overly broad.
