The Chemophobic Food Babe

15 Comments

One thing I love about having a relatively large subscriber base is that I don’t have to go out of my way to find pseudoscience proponents to shoot down with cold hard logic and indisputable facts. I am constantly sent emails from people telling me about the latest quack online selling a holistic cancer cure, or the latest conspiracy based on Flight MH17, the Boston bombings, Pig-Gate, etc. But ...

One thing a lot of people don’t know about me is that I like to collect quack crap.

Whilst some of these will be constructive – letting you know if you have made mistakes – the majority will be flat-out insulting or bizarre. It has got to the point now where I can ...

My Victorian Book on Palmistry Says a Lot About Modern-Day Quackery

1 Comment

Edited by Peter & Ben One thing a lot of people don’t know about me is that I like to collect quack crap. My bedroom seems to slowly be turning into a monument to all the stupid and half-baked dangerous ideas people have had over the past two centuries. For example, on my desk I have a phrenology bust, on one of my shelving units I have a homeopathic first aid kit, and on another I have ...

My Experiences With Psychic Sally

2 Comments

In May of 2014, I went to to see the ‘psychic to the stars’ Sally Morgan at Middlesbrough town hall, and if there was one word I could use to describe my night it would be ‘boring’. First off, I feel I have to say that I personally don’t believe that psychics exist so, as you can imagine, I find people like Sally distasteful. This, however, was not the reason why I ...
