10. How long before small people think they're going to cure cancer by eating lots of broccoli ?

Anyone who has cancer of course, has the option of forgoing medication and eating broccoli.

This is especially true of all the people who never take medications for anything because medicinal chemists are evil people.

This kind of contempt for science and scientists and their work has become very popular in the age of rising deliberate ignorance, as shown by the rise in the number of cases of a disease that could be eliminated were it not for fear and deliberate ignorance, by a subset of people, measles.

Since people have been eating broccoli for a long time, it's surprising, isn't it, that people still die from cancer? I don't wish to encourage, um, critical thinking, of course. Critical thinking is unpopular and we only like popularity in this world.

My sister-in-law, has happily, gone into remission, from her breast cancer - we consider her cured - through the work of the surgeon Dr. Hiriam Cody - who saved her breast - and because of the oncologists who gave her medications developed by big, bad, evil big pharma companies at a cost of billions of dollars.

I know another person whose husband, a dumb-assed guy who thinks he's going to be a star because he can play songs by a dumb assed rock star, who cursed Dr. Cody out because he couldn't save a breast, and because the dumb assed piano player knew more than the doctor.

His wife is dying.

We all have the option of dying because we're smarter than scientists. Again, it's increasingly popular.
