It may shock you to learn that the medical establishment is none too keen on smiling, unblinking harbinger of the paleo-pocalypse Pete Evans’ predictably off showing on Sunday Night last night.
Although he was clearly there to dispel rumours that there is bad blood on the set of My Kitchen Rules, it was inevitable that he would be asked questions like “Why do you think feeding bone broth to infants is good as hell?” and “do you really think that milk slurps all the calcium out of your bones?”
His answer to all these things, in summary, was basically: “Yes, also I didn’t mean it like that, but it’s true, also you’re fake news”. Masterful.
Well, the Australian Medical Association were quick out of the gate to slam Pete’s appearance, taking to Twitter to issue a statement against his not so fresh claims:

The federal vice president of the AMA, Tony Bartone, also used his own Twitter account to editorialise against Evans:
Willful arrogance mischievously questioning medical advice. Decades scientific research. Celebrities putting #healthatrisk @sundaynighton7 https://t.co/1U5099WvqI

Evans, for his part, provided a preemptive response to these know-nothing BOFFINS in the interview itself, saying: “What do you need a qualification for to talk common sense? That’s what I say to it”.
Common sense here I assume means clicking on Facebook links to articles from sites with names like WHOLESOME-SPIRIT-HEALING.RU or CHEMTRAILSTRUTH.INFO.
Poor Pete can’t catch a bloody break from these trained medical professionals.
