Without making too much of an ass of myself, those born in the 30s are more likely to have memories of what the climate used to be like, what is was like without vaccines and have some degree of farm experience - Victory Gardens, family farms, summer work or hearing about the family farm. So global climate change and vaccines: yup. GMOs may get lumped into the Roundup Ready shenanigans, which is harmful to farmers but not in the "GMOs will make my babies be born nekkid" way.

Just a thought.

She lost her fastball. maybe this book should be put aside. AngryAmish Mar 2015 #11

Indeed. Unfortunately, she's still pushing anti-science, anti-GMO silliness. HuckleB Mar 2015 #12

So, no, she hasn't change her stance. HuckleB Mar 2015 #22

I was just asking why you posted a 2 yr old story about her, and added in a newer one on her book. uppityperson Mar 2015 #23
