6. I don't think they are stupid, at all

but their absolute refusal to look at anything beyond ridiculous snake oil put out by (mostly) Rodale publications keeps them bean dip dumb.

It's really sad when they lock themselves into such a little intellectual room.

I worked in a health food store when I was living in a place with few possibilities for employment. I do know what I'm talking about here. I've seen it all. Really.

They're nice people, but they know what they know from very little and very narrow reading and assume they know it all. And that's what makes them bean dip dumb.

Me? I'm the village idiot, I admit it. However, I do read all sides of a question before I figure out whose bullshit is worth buying or if any of it is.
