slip ups in terms of chemical names, and yeah, it happens. But there's no such thing as bad publicity.

By and large, most of her site is focused on awareness, healthy choices and eating real food instead of the toxic crap being rammed down your throats by the giant corporations.

All you ever have is the corporate funded shill site "sciencebased medicine" womanofthehills Jul 2016 #14

All you ever do is make baseless claims about good scientists. HuckleB Jul 2016 #15

Right wing site womanofthehills Jul 2016 #23

Wrong again. It's not ok to make such false portrayals. HuckleB Jul 2016 #24

A well-respected science-based site. HuckleB Jul 2016 #79

I didn't realize she was such a quack until recently. randome Jul 2016 #38

You are not out of the loop. Some people on DU dislike people who recommend eating organically. womanofthehills Jul 2016 #12

ROFL! True progressives despise fear mongering con artists like the Food Babe. HuckleB Jul 2016 #13

So suggesting people eat healthy food has become "fear mongering" womanofthehills Jul 2016 #16

She's not suggesting people eat healthy food. HuckleB Jul 2016 #17

All your links are corporate womanofthehills Jul 2016 #19

No, they're not. They are, however, all scientifically literate. HuckleB Jul 2016 #21

Actually, eating well when you are pregnant is better for your baby womanofthehills Jul 2016 #18

Acupuncture has nothing to do with eating well. HuckleB Jul 2016 #22

Yawn womanofthehills Jul 2016 #27

Whoops. You got caught, and you pretend it doesn't matter. HuckleB Jul 2016 #28

That is a big part of their business, I'm sure. HuckleB Jul 2016 #32

hey their crunchy tacos (add onions) aren't that bad! Kali Jul 2016 #55

I stopped eating anything like that around the same time I gave up booze. Warren DeMontague Jul 2016 #74

Nom, nom! Chopped and formed emulsified meat product! underahedgerow Jul 2016 #62

Yes, it does. HuckleB Jul 2016 #63

Is this like an MRA thing, but against healthy eating food bloggers? underahedgerow Jul 2016 #66

I'm merely noting one of the world's current scam artists. HuckleB Jul 2016 #69

I don't see how encouraging people to eat healthy, to actually LOOK at the ingredients in their underahedgerow Jul 2016 #40

That has nothing to do with the scams pushed by Food Babe. HuckleB Jul 2016 #41

So who is she hurting, by promoting a healthy eating lifestyle? Are you really worried about the underahedgerow Jul 2016 #43

She is not promoting a healthy eating lifestyle. HuckleB Jul 2016 #44

That's the type of 'ignorance' I can live with. OH MY GAWD she has ZUCCHINI RECIPES underahedgerow Jul 2016 #48

So you choose to ignore the mass of ignorance and unhealthy nonsense that she promotes. HuckleB Jul 2016 #49

But is she? Is Newt Gingrich doing a public service by Hortensis Jul 2016 #46

I might have to respectfully say that recipes and healthy lifestyle choices aren't exactly underahedgerow Jul 2016 #50

She's not "kinda cool." She's full of shit. Orrex Jul 2016 #51

I totally disagree. She has a lot of important information about the crap going into the food underahedgerow Jul 2016 #57

You seem to think that it's ok to promote a scam artist whose fictions are well known. HuckleB Jul 2016 #59

No, she's full of shit. Orrex Jul 2016 #61

If she was promoting healthy lifestyle choices, you might have a point. She is not. HuckleB Jul 2016 #52

No, she's not. Her information, for being a non-scientist, is pretty accurate. Sure, there's a few underahedgerow Jul 2016 #58

Not even close! Food Babe pushes nonsense regularly, and that has been shown. HuckleB Jul 2016 #60

And again I ask, what harm is she doing by raising awareness of the toxic crap being underahedgerow Jul 2016 #64

And, again, your red herring nonsense has been debunked, over and over again. HuckleB Jul 2016 #67

What scam? She found a niche, she provides good information and promotes healthy lifestyle underahedgerow Jul 2016 #71

Wow! You truly haven't bothered to read anything about the con artist in question. Nice confession. HuckleB Jul 2016 #72

To hell with you and your facts!!!!!1! Orrex Jul 2016 #68

Apparently. HuckleB Jul 2016 #70

I don't agree. Kali Jul 2016 #56
