On twitter and tiktok over the past few weeks, scores of users have become alarmed about the uncomfortable coziness between the natural-food-and-body community and white-power and militant-right online spaces—the “crunchy-to-alt-right pipeline.” Crunchy, coined as a pop-culture reference to granola, has come to refer to a wide variety of cultural practices, including avoiding additives and food dyes, declining or spacing out childhood vaccinations beyond what pediatricians recommend, and more extreme actions in pursuit of health, independence, and purity. Back-to-the-land living and alternative medicine are hallmarks of “crunch.” Much of this subculture is benign, a declaration of anti-modernism or slow living. But...

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) has responded to the video released by the Center for Medical Progress showing their abortionist negotiating the price of aborted babies’ body parts. The footage features Dr. Savita Ginde, the Vice President and Medical Director of PPRM in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Ginde tells actors posing as buyers from a fake human biologics company known as Biomax that payment per organ will be the most financially beneficial for Planned Parenthood. She said, “I think a per-item thing works a little better, just because we can see how much we can get out of it.”...

Abortion is legal, but taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for it. Democrats have been picking fight after fight in the culture wars, believing they have the upper hand with socially liberal younger votes. But that assumption is now being tested in the wake of videos of Planned Parenthood doctors blithely discussing the harvesting of fetal body parts. The videos, secretly recorded by anti-abortion activists, show the doctors discussing, among other things, the best way to ensure a “less crunchy” aborted fetus. It’s gruesome stuff, especially for anyone who has viewed the sonogram of an unborn child. Planned Parenthood’s defenders are...

Koreans Share Their Secret for Chicken With a Crunch By JULIA MOSKIN WHEN Joe McPherson moved to Seoul in 2002, he thought he was leaving fried chicken behind. “I grew up watching Popeyes training videos,” Mr. McPherson said. His father managed a Popeyes franchise near Atlanta and fried chicken was a constant presence in his life. “Living in the South, you think you know fried chicken,” he said. But in Seoul, he said, “there is a mom-and-pop chicken place literally on every corner.” Many Asian cooking traditions include deep-fried chicken, but the popular cult of crunchy, spicy, perfectly nongreasy chicken...

NEW BEDFORD — Bernadette DePina, the mother of reputed gang member and accused killer David "Crunchy" DePina II, was found shot to death in her bedroom yesterday, raising fears of gang retaliation, sources said. Mr. DePina, 23, is charged with a shooting that killed a reputed gang rival Sunday. Mayor Scott W. Lang wouldn't specifically say he believed Ms. DePina's murder was gang-related, but community activists who gathered near Ms. DePina's home yesterday said they were worried it was retaliation. During a press conference, the mayor asked New Bedford to "take a step back" and later visited troubled spots in...

Two succulent, naturally raised chickens with good farm references are in the oven, snuggled up in a roasting pan like doomed lovers. Fat, perfect carrots are peeled, chopped, seasoned and ready to simmer. "Notice that I am literally barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen," observes Mrs. Crunchy Con, and perhaps, she quips, she should have done her hair for the occasion like Phyllis Schlafly's. The li'l Crunchy Cons, boys ages 2 and 6, are out back in the warm Wednesday afternoon sun, making sculptures out of a bowl of ice cubes -- something constructive and home-schoolish, something very We're Not...

From the reviews of Crunchy Cons Sometimes, it is said, one must be cruel in order to be kind. "Architecture, trees, foodstuff...[Let's] discuss the case for regulating sprawl or the deep pleasures of Humboldt Fog cheese". He calls himself these days a "crunchy Republican" and has written a book to that effect in the hopes that the Wizard can give such a creature a brain and maybe help recapture some who have rightly become morally very uneasy with GOP schizoid "values". So why not transvalue them altogether, he asked himself? Put them in jeans and a log cabin and take...

The New CountercultureMeet Rod Dreher, a conservative who is critical of capitalismBY GEORGE H. NASHRod Dreher, a columnist and editor at the Dallas Morning News, is a self-confessed member of the vast right-wing conspiracy. As a lapsed Protestant who converted to Roman Catholicism several years ago, he is an unabashed religious and social conservative. He has little use for the morally relativist and libertine tendencies of modern liberalism. Too often, he says, "the Democrats act like the Party of Lust." But Mr. Dreher is also a passionate environmentalist, a devotee of organic farming and a proponent of the New Urbanism,...

A Crunchy Con Manifesto 1. We are conservatives who stand outside the conservative mainstream; therefore, we can see things that matter more clearly. 2. Modern conservatism has become too focused on money, power, and the accumulation of stuff, and insufficiently concerned with the content of our individual and social character. 3. Big business deserves as much skepticism as big government. 4. Culture is more important than politics and economics. 5. A conservatism that does not practice restraint, humility, and good stewardship—especially of the natural world—is not fundamentally conservative. 6. Small, Local, Old, and Particular are almost always better than Big,...

Homo erectus ate crunchy food Jennifer Viegas Discovery News Tuesday, 22 November 2005 Tooth marks suggest Homo erectus ate crunchy foods, like root vegetables (Image: iStockphoto) Homo erectus munched on crunchy, brittle and tough foods, while other early humans seemed to favour softer fare, according to a new analysis of teeth. All the individuals showed signs of eating a variety of foods. H. erectus lived between approximately 2 million to 400,000 years ago and is the first known primate to use significant tools and walk upright. The researchers say H. erectus is the only species they looked at that appears...

WHEN DECENCY LEFT AMERICA STINKY HATE-FILLED ANTI-AMERICAN BIGOTS By: Dave Franklin There is still a social sub-culture that represents the morally bankrupt leach-Americana. Un-bathed, rancid, America-bashing dope heads continue preaching anti-patriotic hatred. They are opposed to decent people whose taxes pay for the colleges around which they orbit in concealed hives where the only objectives in life are drugs, licentiousness, and promoting socialism. Beginning in the mid-1950s with a beatnik cult movement that later germinated at Woodstock, a post-modern breed of maggotry infested America. It would be nice if we could dismiss this as an artifact of history, but the...

JULY 19, 2002 Beijing pest is also a tasty, crunchy treat BEIJING - They are flying about the capital in swarms, and residents are capturing them by the bagful. They're filled with protein and, some say, are delicious - and crunchy - when deep-fried. Beijing's summer locusts have arrived, though experts say the sand-hued, beady-eyed bugs are more of a nuisance this year than a danger to crops. The insects, from the outskirts of Beijing or Inner Mongolia, are not the destructive migratory species which laid waste to millions of hectares of farmland around the country earlier this year, said...
