They are nuts too. Stephen Send a noteboard - 29/07/2013 03:30:46 PM

View original postSaying he is a nut is all well and good and I admitted he is over the top but that doesn't make his core point any less valid. Besides are far as food discussions go he is nowhere near as nutting as the people he is describing.

I won't argue that a McDonald's cheeseburger has pretty good nutritional value for its price.

What a found nutty was the way he quickly segued from an interesting point about access to nutrition for low income families into ranting about liberals and Marxists.

He could have written a thought provoking article about the lack of access to good quality food and nutrition for poorer people, but instead he wanted to rant about snooty, elitist liberals.

Certainly, a lot of organic and locally sourced food advocates are quite nutty and should draw criticism, but the way he went about constructing his "argument" is why I called him a nut.
