Here’s a quick rant: As many of my readers would vehemently agree, Food Babe is one of the most annoying and pseudoscience-promoting, fear-mongering public figures of late.

This one goes out to all the young moms (and dads) feeling like they've lost their identities. Do you sport your Obama 2012 sticker on a minivan? Wear yoga pants? Itching for a chance to do your own thing? Chin up, friend. You are still an autonomous person.
