    “precious tax payers money shouldn’t go to unused subscriptions to junk science”

    Ahh yes, but it should be used to make the incomprehensibly wealthy, even more wealthy. I really wish there was a god.

    Did they just hear the term junk science and went “no u”?

    This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.

      Nah, John Stossel was using it back in the '90s to deny climate change. The term “junk science” has always been used as an excuse to ignore reality.

      There is legitimate research on the effects of ingesting methylene blue. Don’t confuse that with pseudoscience. There’s probably plenty of pseudoscience around it, but it’s not (at its core) naturopathy/homeopathy/voodoo.

      Even if he believed that, why isn’t he calling for more regulation oversight for the FDA and stringent quality controls on the food production supply chain as a whole?

        Clean living in his view just means focusing on “natural” things. Which means swimming and drinking shit water is safe, but anything “artificial” is dangerous. So he’s certainly not going to care about pathogens in the food supply, because he doesn’t believe they are dangerous.

          he in fact believes pathogens in the food supply are necessary to build your immune system

              He’s a sick bastard.

              There’s a three part Behind the Bastards on him that covers his childhood, young adult, and current craziness. I found part two the most interesting.

              You know I’m part of a club where we try to eat one of everything to maintain our dominant position in the food chain, but he makes us look like freaks. And not the fun kind of freaks.
