Yaron Brook gave an excellent talk to the Virginia State Republican convention.

 

 Recently, some of us have been getting involved in the local Tea Party protests. Many Objectivists around the country have been participating in various ways nationally, including Dr John Lewis, a speaker for ARI, who gave a speech at the Charlotte North Carolina Tea Party.

In the same vein as the Junk Science website, you might enjoy junkfoodscience.com.  This informative site is run by Sandy Szwarc, R.N.  She has the knowledge to read through medical studies and to distill the true findings, which are often not what is reported in the general media.  She is also very good at tracking the history of how certain health factors are determined.  One example is the definition of childhood obesity--the standards were changed at some point, so the "alarming increase in childhood obesity" may be so much statistical manipulation.  Szwarc covers a wide range of health issues from diet crazes to socialized medicine.
