There seems to be an entire industry around extracting nutrition research from these deeply flawed self-reported surveys ... on the grounds that it's the best data we have. Which is like looking for your car keys under the street light because that's where the light is.

So while I sympathize with this story and think it shines light on the process of institutional character assassination, it's about replacing one set of non-probative data with another.
