Not to forget anti-vaxxers: spread a meme that selects exactly the type of person you cannot rely on to be rational and then supply the corrollary.

-I highly recommend a CSA for great vegetables, delivered if possible I do not. They are (at least where I am) unpredictable in content which increases the burden of planning meals.
