What particularly irritates me about this whole broad area
is, apparently, it's perfectly acceptable to rail against thousands of years of scientific and medical knowledge and to directly hold a contrary point to qualified medical practitioners becuase you are a woman and therefore "know best"

See also: holding up what mothers in developing countries do as an example of what is healthy, natural and "right". Because, also then, we should introduce random famine, disease and high rates of child mortality into Surrey "baby dance" classes as well. Fucktards.

You know only too well that people are idiots, badge.
I sell snake oil to people who tell me that they want something "more natural" than what the doctor has prescribed. Not one of them ever considers that these things are no more natural than the thing they are replacing.

I know, I know.
I don't understand why the fuck people pick and choose their idiocy, though. All this homeopathic-medicine-consuming fuckspanners don't demand "natural alternatives" to electricity or refuse life-saving surgery because it's not "natural" ... they're lying hypocrites even to themselves, yet it's acceptable to foist that on their young children? Fuck 'em, tangles, it's actually child abuse. Refuse a vaccination for your baby and I would have you put in prison.

Correlation does not equate to causation.
