THANK YOU. This stuff pisses me off to no end. We're already basically illiterate when it comes so science in America and then we compound that by having the most absurd conclusions drawn from studies by journalists.

I don't know. I saw him cavorting with a college ruled notebook in aisle 4 yesterday.

how DARE you use science to debunk a news article. HOW VERY DARE YOU!!!!!!!

Don't be surprised if your next kid comes out looking like a binder clip.

Hell yes!!! Finally Jez has someone on the rolls who sciences. Welcome, Caroline!

And that man's name?

Other things you are not, a mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, pig, beagle, E. coli, baker's yeast, zebra fish, C. elegans, Henrietta Lacks, and aborted Danish fetus from the 1970s...

Pseudo-science news drives me nuts almost as much as pseudo science.

YAY!!! A real, honest-to-God Science writer! Jezebel, you have answered our collective prayers!!!

I hadn't had sex for like, two years before hooking up with the guy who became my husband and knocked me up. If the previous guy's sperm was still inside me and viable, it would be a medical miracle. ALERT THE PRESSES!

are you for real? not caring is completely understandable. having gone through life literally not knowing there was more than one way to cook an egg is BAFFLING. the thing that is baffling is HE DIDN'T KNOW OTHER WAYS EXISTED, not that he didn't know how to do it himself.

not caring how they're done and not knowing multiple ways TO COOK EGGS are completely different.

After a few minutes, I returned to the table. The man ordered a hamburger.

Where is this rock from whence these clueless people seem to crawl? I think it might be blissful to vacation there, to spend days fishing for mignon, hunting buffalo for their wings and teaching shrimp about vegans.

Damn, is it that bad not eating meat, that vegans have to lie to themselves to eat their awful food? If all you serve is soy, just fucking serve soy! Stop trying to pretty it up with fancy shapes and names of foods you're too good to eat!

Oh, that's weird. I thought that hamburger is made from ground-up citizens of Hamburg, Germany. Is there shrimp in that?

and they would have gotten away from it too if it weren't for those meddling racists!!!!!!

Ah yes, the athiests are in charge... That's why everyone has good sex ed, and there is widespread access to contraception (and thus a delightfully small call for abortion, which you can always get within 30 miles of your home).

... Oh wait...

"there are certain people who are trying to make the whole world eat what they want to eat"

Big Oil is a HUGE special interest that makes money hand over fist while receiving massive subsidies, corporate welfare and enormous tax credit. The cognitive dissonance is astounding. I wonder what it must be like to be so selfish?
