Conspiracy theories on the left are prevalent. Anti-vaccination is the obvious one. There's plenty about GMOs and Monsanto. I had a health teacher in highschool who gave us an alternative "food pyramid" the only justification of why it was better being that it had been rejected by congress while the other one was accepted. She was obviously left-leaning and is where I'm getting most of these ideas. Anti nuclear power is another of hers.
- circlefavshape 9y agoAnti-vaxxers are typically left-wing? Really?? Good lord America, you are so confusing
- rdtsc 9y agoYes, interestingly enough from what I've seen. Resorting to stereotypes imagine the everything organic / gluten free / herbal medicine type moms.

- 0xfeba 9y agoWell, the old food pyramid was basically a 'agriculture lobby pyramid': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)#Controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)#Contr... It was hardly science-based.
- tgb 9y agoI agree with you that it wasn't great, but the idea that congress's approval is automatically s seal that something is incorrect would, I think, fall under the category of conspiracy theories. She had no interest in addressing the merits of either food pyramid. (Actually I think it was less of "congress approved this therefore it's bad" and more of "a little guy fighting against the establishment got beaten with his alternative so therefore it's good.")
