Why Would I Listen to Harvard Anyway?

Please tell me that I’m not the only one that’s sick of hearing about Harvard’s “The Fertility Diet”?
I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a while, but then other things come up and well, I figured the news was no longer timely and I’d missed the boat. You don’t want old news, right?
