Weston A. Price Foundation

The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) is, according to its website, a "nutrition education foundation." This nutrition education includes claiming that eating lots of fat, meat, and raw (but not pasteurized) dairy is healthy, and that natural things are better than "artificial" ones.A Holistic Approach to Cancer, Tom Cowan.Agave Nectar: Worse Than We Thought, Sally Fallon Morell and Rami Nagel, The Weston A.

===What they're against===
Things they don't like include the following:
==Website design==
The website underwent a redesign in late February 2017, which improved its SEO and led to an increase in readership. Unfortunately, the website now looks professional — it's now often difficult to identify a crank site just by its appearance. The popup asks for invasive personal information such as your zip code. It has a lot of mixed https and http content on its webpages leading to the https connection failing to be secure. Accessibility of site is pretty good.
