How could one statement discredit an entire movement (which is much larger

than Sally Fallon herself)?

The WAPF or it's leaders have made other statements that are incorrect (I

say this on the assumption that you are correct in that Sally is INcorrect,

which is only an assumption on my part until I study the issue myself) but I

never took that to mean the entire movement is discredited by one, or even a

handful of incorrect statements.

I can't imagine there is ANY movment that doesn't make incorrect statements

from time to time. Not that Sally made the statement about smoking on behalf

of the movement, since she was addressing a specific person in her comments

and was clear that she was not endorsing smoking (and I think it's implied

that she wasn't presenting it as a belief of the organization).
