I think it's a subtle anti-science attitude that pervades throughout society. "Next thing they'll be telling us apricots give us cancer! Those stupid scientists, eh?"
When of course it's really the media itself to blame.

- peterwwillis 7y agoNo, it's people to blame. The reason people are anti-science is they don't like the idea that everything they know about the world can change regularly. The media are just the messengers.
