Where do you see the future of nutrition research going? A lot of the literature seems to be lacking in controlled studies, do you see ethics approval for these studies getting better? Do you think internet crowd-sourced/volunteer based nutrition research being a feasible concept?

I've seen videos where if a police officer comes to your door, some police and lawyers say it's more beneficial to not say anything (as it may incriminate yourself through non-succinct wording/phrasing) without a lawyer present. I have a few questions about this, as a Kingston resident since laws vary from place to place. Doesn't this get in the way if you are a witness? If you want to come forward with information should you actively try to meet at the station with a lawyer? Would the city provide a lawyer?

1. What are our rights, when at our living quarters if presented with an inquiring officer? We don't really get this stuff taught in schools.
2. Does an officer need a warrant to search the premises, or extract someone from the house?
3. What are our rights in public that we should be made aware of? After events like the Toronto G20 summit, people aren't even sure about these anymore.
4. A more lighthearted question, what would you say is a good way for people to interact with officers (and maybe other public servants) on a more social level, and get to know them better? Are there events that cater to this kind of atmosphere? This AMA is a great start, obviously :).
