my sister has become one of those nutty food nazi people. And a super-disciple of foodbabe. i hate even typing out those letters. sounds so fucking stupid.

anyway, my sis is always emailing me blog posts from the aforementioned idiot, and it's all garbage.

mostly stuff like "food x uses ingredient y that's ALSO FOUND IN... DUN DUN DUN ANTIFREEZE OMG."

it's bullshit fearmongering. anything obscure ingredient that has more than a couple of syllables is automatically bad. She goes to great lengths to make it as scary sounding as possible, without a shred of scientific evidence to back up her claims.

The notion that all GMO is automatically poison is ridiculous, unfounded, and based on nothing but fear.

So you gotta figure she knows she is fear mongering and is using that to build her brand right?

and that makes spreading misinformation ok?

maybe i'm not tracking with the point that you're trying to make...

I'm saying do you think she actually believe everything she is saying, or does she know she's fear-mongering and is happily using that to build her brand?

to me it really doesn't matter. She's either stupid or exploitative, and either deserves derision.

It's like Jenny McCarthy and the anti-vaxxers.

Obviously, she has a right to post that crap, and I'm happy to mock her and her followers.
