Six Trendy New Health Foods that are Full of Crap

From Cracked.com

I notice that Cracked.com is sometimes a real lightning rod in GD. If you cite one of their articles in regard to, say, international refugees or illegal whaling, they're hailed as Gospel Truth. But if you link to one that points out the absurdity of anti-vax thinking or bullshit pseudoscience, it's dismissed as "just a comedy site."

Regardless, their trademark snarky tone comes through magically in this current piece. Worth reading simply for the subject headers alone.

3. Oh yeah.

Don't forget the anti-GMO hysterics and their "righteous indignation" at the pictures for Cracked posted, that show "organic" is just a big scam.

When I've posted the one pointing out that several "organic-friendly" chemicals are more toxic than Glyphosate, my source is attacked even though the actual information is correct.


How surprising!

6. That's the standard reply.

You're supposed to be ashamed of your source, no matter how correct it is. Accuracy is not the point!
