Steve's post tended to be very one sided and only cherry picked the facts that made Steve's argument look better. My understanding is that when comparing something it is best to present both sides equally and look at the bigger picture.
The professor in the blog answers what his credentials are and offers references to the facts stated in his response, which make the professor more credible than Steve.
Quote:
Finally, you ask about my credentials to answer this question. Well, I am
employed as an anatomy professor (and am therefore a specialist in human
anatomy). I teach at a college that specializes in training health care
workers (so I am familiar with issues of human health an nutrition).
Finally, I earned by Ph.D. in Physical Anthropology (which sort of makes me
an expert in how humans adapt both biologically and culturally to the
environment).

I need to do more academic research before I can decide what I believe to be true.
