Food truck at a job site I visited today had a sign that said "Locally sourced hot dogs!" and then below it in smaller letters "(they're from the costco down the road)"

I have a recipe for nut milk that's sure to be her new favorite. Organic, non-dairy, non-GMO, and it's motherfucking gluten free.

I consider myself a "foodie" in that I love enjoying cuisines from all over the the world and not just your regular cookie cutter stuff. As to organic/non organic I don't give a flying fuck. Buying local is good though.

^^, ^

yeah it's pretty meaningless really.

Quote :

"It may also be used when there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans but there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. In some instances, an agent, mixture or exposure circumstance for which there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans but limited evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals together with supporting evidence from other relevant data may be placed in this group. "

The point of the graphic is to point out the hypocrisy. Food boob gets her cunt in a wad over whatever thing she decides to attack under the guise of some ingredient or product being dangerous-- in this case 4MEI, because it's a group 2B carcinogen, yet she's fine with other foods with ingredients from the same category.

Food babe, Mercola, natural news, and all of the other pseudo-science drivel sites tend to have one other thing in common-- they're all selling alternative products which they deem safe using an appeal to their own imaginary authority. The irony is that they often cite the profit motive of some big corporation as the key reason why people should avoid certain products and buy their alternative products, even though they're often seeing much higher profit margins on these products.

Good lord, that made my brain hurt. Kind of like the way it hurts when I'm flying in a low humidy, high pressure cabin with less than 50% oxygen in the air.

what's worse is that some idiot is going to read that and refuse to fly because of it.

"“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. – Mahatma Gandhi We are close to winning. Over the last three years, the coalition we have built, the Food Babe Army, has had an incredible amount of success and been featured in major newspapers, magazines, on radio stations, and TV shows across the globe. Together, since we as customers control the income for corporate agribusinesses, they are starting to pay attention. We’ve highlighted ingredients that are banned in other countries due to health concerns, and forced companies like Kraft, Subway, and Starbucks to show Americans the same respect they show other countries by committing to remove these ingredients in the US. We also inspired one of the largest fast food companies, Chick-fil-A, to commit to stop using antibiotics in the production of their chicken, and to remove controversial chemicals and other artificial ingredients. We’ve demanded transparency. We convince some multi-billion dollar corporations from Chipotle to Anheuser-Busch, (and MillerCoors and Starbucks who are dragging their feet) to finally release their ingredients for the first time in history. Scientists may all not agree about how dangerous these ingredients are, but we have the right to know what’s in our food and why it’s there. Because of our efforts these companies can no longer hide behind antiquated regulations that keep Americans in the dark. We’ve educated the public about the food system which in turn inspired more companies to change their ingredients for the better like Chipotle, General Mills, WhiteWave (Silk & Horizon) and Panera Bread. And people now are getting the information they deserve to make educated decisions about what they eat. As human beings, we do not have the option to not eat food, so at the very minimum we should have the right to know what is in our food and the right to choose whether we ingest chemical additives or adulterated food. And while enticing big companies to change is important, I’m even more excited to learn that smart organic companies are now on the general public’s radar and the organic food movement is continuing to grow. They do the right thing and they deserve our business. But we still have work to do–and, as our consumer coalition gains power, fueled by the influence of social media, resistance is starting to dig in against change. With this much game-changing activism and success in a short period of time, it comes as no surprise that some powerful corporate executives and some “independent” voices they help to finance, disagree with our work. An intelligent debate is welcomed, but not all the discussion has been civil. There’s a group of aggressive scientists, biased doctors, skeptics, agribusiness publicists, lobbyists (and their anonymous webpages and social media sites), along with in some cases, well intended but misinformed people (influenced by propaganda) attacking our work, other consumer advocacy groups, my partners, my friends and me, personally. Did you think the powerful chemical companies and food giants of the world were going to let us waltz right into their world and turn it upside down? No – they won’t and, as I expected, the people who wish to keep the status quo are attacking me personally while simultaneously trying to discredit the entire Good Food Movement. Instead of focusing on the issues at hand I’ve raised about the food industry, their go-to criticisms are ad hominem personal attacks: they’ve attacked me, as a woman, in ways they’d never attack my male colleagues. I am personally being subjected to hate speech, harassment and cyber-bullying on a daily basis. I won’t dignify these immature, and often misogynist, remarks with a response. Here are a few examples of the disturbing and graphic recent remarks. Warning: These are extremely offensive."

i mean she calls herself foodbabe. isn't that sexist in and of itself?

12/10/2014 12:43:16 PM

does she respond to her insane airplane blog post?

12/10/2014 12:46:29 PM

^^Yes, i don't doubt she's gotten some horrible attacks from the typical internet idiots that every woman gets. That's wrong, and all reasonable people will agree.

^ Nope, she rarely responds to valid refutations of her claims. When she's tried, it's gone badly.

What she's trying to do is apply the handful of crazies who troll her with personal attacks, "hope you die" type comments and the like to anyone and everyone who disagrees with her claims on their own merits (or lack thereof).

It's a strategy straight out of the conspiracy theorist handbook-- re-shape your perception of the world to fit your beliefs:

Anyone who disagrees is part of the conspiracy against me.
Any data or evidence that refutes my claim was planted or tainted by

except, not really

Quote :

"Update: General Mills told the Observer that Ms. Hari didn’t factor into their decision-making at all, and that this has been something in the works for a long time. Their statement in full: BHT is an FDA-approved food ingredient, but we’re already well down the path of removing it from our cereals. This change is not for safety reasons, but because we think consumers will embrace it. We’ve never spoken with Vani Hari and she did not play any role in our decision. Many of our US Cereals do not contain BHT including: Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Trix, Kix and Lucky Charms. Our removal of BHT from cereals is well underway and has been for more than a year."

2/6/2015 4:48:43 PM

Except she like already responded to that:

Quote :

"Ms. Hari says this is a “hilarious” response, and not the one she received in an email just a few weeks back. “Before, it was, ‘These ingredients were safe,'” Ms. Hari said. “Now it’s, ‘They’re safe, but we’re going to take them out.’ This is the typical PR line to save face. They think I’ll back off, but they still haven’t given a timeline.”"

2/6/2015 5:15:39 PM

I smell bullshit. Burden of proof is on her to prove they're doing it in response to her petition, but I'm sure we won't see anything.

Listen this bitch should just focus on the number one ingredient that is plaguing us the most:

Quote :

"Fluoride is added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinking water supplies to aid in the prevention of cavities. This benefit is dubious at best, as there is practically no difference in tooth decay rates between fluoridated and non-fluoridated countries, and no difference between states that fluoridate a high versus low percentage of their water. Yet, while fluoride in drinking water does NOT decrease rates of tooth decay, numerous studies show that this chemical has a wide array of devastating health effects – one of them being lowered IQ."
