Well within in nonevangelicals, this article was popular for a while.

The Food Pyramid That Made Us Fat http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/1/29/934261/-

Not to mention the anti-vaccine people on all sides of the political and religious spectrum.

This article really suggests to me a long term trend in the establishments loosing their credibility across multiple groups of people or at least that is the real issue.

This comment remimded me of an article titled "The death of expertise" : http://thefederalist.com/2014/01/17/the-death-of-expertise/

I just re-submitted it to HN for another discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13058847
