As for the bogus attack on "skeptics" ... HuckleB Aug 2014 #7

The salient point is that the 'best science' of any given moment might be proven wrong by the 'best Bluenorthwest Aug 2014 #78

That analogy is off the mark. Not the same thing at all. cui bono Aug 2014 #57

That's the cliche. HuckleB Aug 2014 #92

So, you think people should just STFU and eat what they want, but not demand to know if djean111 Aug 2014 #96

Maybe the demands to "know what's in my food" alp227 Aug 2014 #101

Stupid article based on a stupid and largely false and unsupported premise TheKentuckian Aug 2014 #94

I get it. HuckleB Aug 2014 #98

Challenged by unsupported bullshit that that equates wanting to know about your food to anti-gay TheKentuckian Aug 2014 #118

You clearly don't understand what the term "unsupported" means. HuckleB Aug 2014 #123
