Just another kind of crackpot

Organic food freaks who refuse to eat anything with "chemicals" in it.

The self-righteous among them are every bit as annoying as self-righteous vegetarians, tea-totalers, or non-smokers.

Among all four, a not unusual added attraction is being a know-it-all.

You can't talk to these people any more than you can talk to converts to libertarianism, Marxism, or Islam.

Many are the varieties of fatuity by which people define themselves.

The quest for identity, belonging, and meaning.
