I don't mean to bring up a sore topic but I have to inquire about the email the foodbabe posted from a colleague of yours. I am a big fan of your work and really appreciate what you're doing - especially since I am a science major myself who happens to have a roommate that buys into a lot of pseudoscience. Her most recent health kick was to cut open onions and place them throughout the apartment because it "clears the air of toxins and keeps you from getting sick." -.- Anyways, do you have anything to say in response to the letter? I would like to get your side of the story.

Thank you for doing this, I really appreciate all of the insights and sources you've shared with the reddit community. It seems that in order to quell an organization/idea like Daesh it requires squashing the illusions of grandeaur they use to attract people to their cause by revealing the truth about what life is like as a participant. To me that seems a bit disheartening because I feel like it means there is nothing I can do as a regular US citizen to combat terrorism. Do you have any recommendations to the contrary?
