Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Welcome to our current world.

... wait, that's supposed to be the bad guy in the dystopian future. Crap.

Sign near the cookie table in the store at a local orchard...
"Flour comes from a plant.
Sugar comes from a plant.
Chocolate comes from a plant.
A cookie is a salad."

Can't remember where it was (online or IRL), someone was given a slice of cake, and when walking away, was wished "Enjoy your ground domestic grass fetuses adulterated with ground starch-sequestering taproot inflated with carbonate-based carbon dioxide production," or some-such overly-technical-description. It, uh, did not make the cake taste better, I imagine.

Well, see, there's the problem. If you want authentic Mexican tacos, you have to make them with authentic Mexicans...

Please, Soylent Verde.

Like a lot of bad guys that are decently written, she wasn't entirely wrong. Freedom of choice is always a two-edged sword.

My always feeling on this is "If you're not going to listen to your doctor, why bother to go to one?"

Obviously, so I can tell them how to do their job.

I was just in a local grocery yesterday where they had an aisle sign for “Baby Juice”.

The number of people amenable to us and our kids and our kids' kids playing chicken with polio horrifies me.

A pox upon antivaxxers!

Sounds like Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house.

"My doctor says that I need to (medical advice), but I saw a video that says I should (dubious and/or harmful clickbait). What do you think, my Not-A-Doctor offspring?"

I’m the son of a doctor who also has an MPH, and my best friend is a mental healthcare professional with an alphabet of degrees after his surname.

We have some WONDERFUL discussions about healthcare ignorance on MANY different levels.

I remember one character a friend of mine made for one of my historical games. He was a "doctor" whose diagnostic method was phrenology and whose treatment method was trepanation. This was in a Mage: the Ascension game. And I got to have a discussion with somebody about how an examination of archeological finds shows that, when trepanation was developed, a lot of the skulls show bone healing, so it must have been a success. But when it was revived hundreds of years later, a lot of the skulls show no healing, so it probably didn't. Then Ignaz Semmelweis discovered the benefits of hygiene but by then they stopped using it for treatment.

Vaccinations are important! Get them!
