What is wrong with a` low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet.`? That doesn't really seem like pseudoscience in the realm of anti-vaccine and grapefruit diet BS. It's a valid diet.
Wow I had heard Crossfit was a bit of an obsession for some people and a quirky approach to fitness, but I had no idea their official spiel was this level of paranoia - attacking academia as an unholy alliance of the establishment? > The voluntary CrossFit community of 15,000 affiliates and millions of individual adherents stands steadfastly and often alone against an unholy alliance of academia, government, and mult…
This is actually a big deal. CrossFit, whether you like it or not (I’m not a fan) is at this point a major consumer brand. Not too long ago it would have been unthinkable for a brand this significant to make this kind of move.

If you've ever been an athlete, and have spent 30 seconds watching crossfit - it becomes obvious the goal is to see how dumb of an "exercise" you can do before getting hurt.

It should be unthinkable. Do we really want social issues litigated by major brands slinging mud at each other? Imagine Pepsi publishing the equivalent article about how Comcast is evil.
I agree the mud slinging in this post is pretty ridiculous, but I certainly like it when major brands refuse to do business with other brands that are harmful to society. For example, those that chose not to advertise on Fox News.
