Speak for Yourself

“Lead Author Professor Jianfeng Feng, University of Warwick, said: ‘Developing a healthy balanced diet from an early age is crucial for healthy growth. To foster the development of a healthy balanced diet, both families and schools should offer a diverse range of nutritious meals and cultivate an environment that supports their physical and mental health.’” I didn’t cut and paste the above to dispute the content but to question the use of the word “said.” I’m pretty sure Professor Feng never “said” what he’s quoted as saying. Nobody has ever actually “said” such a thing. It’s not how humans say.
