Top 5 Posts of 2014!

January 1, 2015

Happy New Year!

Let’s celebrate the new year by honoring what was great in the last! In between flipping between college football bowl games (Go Green!), check out my top 5 posts of 2014. Be sure to check back on Monday, because I will be back with all new content!

5. Santa’s 2014 Naughty List. Despite it’s short time since being published, Santa’s Naughty List is a popular topic. But why not? The people on the list are usually better stomached in small bits instead of large doses.

4. Just Ignore those 2,000+ Studies Showing GMOs Are Safe! Some people just refuse to listen to reason and cannot be persuaded by peer-reviewed and published scientific studies, even when there are literally 2,000 of them hitting them over the head. Yeah, I’d totally trust that “scientific” study that was retracted and denounced by the scientific community over 2,000+ legitimate studies that meet all the criteria for scientific credibility. Doesn’t everyone?

3. School Science Project Gone Bad. Remember the sweet little girl that tried to teach us a thing or two about why buying organic was such a great thing, especially when it came to potatoes? It was only kinda hard to team up with scientist Steve Savage and bring this little girl’s science project into the light, where the experiment was swiftly and completely denounced as fake.

2. The Food Babe Series. I had a total of three articles on Food Babe (here, here, and here). In my first article, I introduced readers to her lack of credentials and faulty sense of science. Later, I questioned how she treated companies that caved into her boycotting and the so-called “Food Babe Army.” And finally, I decided to take a stand when she threatened me with a defamation claim. It’s just all in a day’s work.

1. Call Out Consumer Reports. Remember when Consumer Reports, the previously trusted publication giving consumers an honest look at various products, decided to forsake integrity and embrace pseudoscience? I certainly do and made sure to correct them at the time. In fact, this was my most popular post in 2014! That’s probably because calling people out when they sell out never gets old.

Disagree with the masses? What article was your favorite of 2014?

Whoops! Looks like I missed #NationalAgricultureDay.We're on a family vacation in Florida this week. We hit SeaWorld, Universal Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom. My highlight was spending some much-needed time with my favorite people. Headed home to Michigan soon. We're all hoping to bring back some warmer temperatures! ๐Ÿคž I hope you're having a good week! ๐Ÿ’œ

Oh, man. These lyrics are hitting me in all the fe Oh, man. These lyrics are hitting me in all the feels right now.

"When they pave all the dirt roads and John Deeres are dinosaurs

When the last back forty gets sold and young boys don't open doors

When you can't hunt a white tail and keep what you reel in

Well, I hope I'm in Heaven by then

Oh, I don't wanna go today, but I don't wanna live

Down here at a place that thinks that that place don't exist

If there comes a day this country's somewhere country don't fit in

Hell, I hope I'm in Heaven by then."

"Heaven By Then," Brantley Gilbert & Blake Shelton

If you want to buy certified organic products, that's totally your choice! But you should also know what you're buying and what it actually means. Often that reality is different than organic marketing.
