Only in America!

just watch, this is the tip of the iceberg, big pharma has been gunning for regulation of the vitamin/supplement industry so as to force most providers out of business (who but big pharma can afford to pay for clinical trials to back up the claims that folic acid helps unblock arteries, for example, not to mention the lavish "incentives" industry officials are used to receiving for "helping" a product get FDA approval....sick)

Of course, if docs had to write a script for a vitamin, mineral, or herbal supplement, perhaps they might actually have to educate themselves about these things.

You can't make stuff like this up :-)

Apparently you can. Will I now have to get a prescription for my Cheerios as well as my vitamins, herbs and supplements? As if we have the time or energy to be running around getting scrips for all this stuff. Wake me up when this nonsense is over. The song "Revolution" keeps playing in my head. I can't take it anymore...................

Lately I feel as if I'm living inside a long Sat. Nite skit. The news is so crazy, I can't even believe it's happening. We're not supposed to use the term terrorism; instead it's a "man caused disaster" according to homeland security. That sounds more like Bopal, or 3 mile island, not 911. The world is going mad.

When I heard about the Cheerios bruhaha, I threw up my hands. It's funny, but it's really not so funny when you think about who's in charge and who has power over our lives.

I need to bury my head in the sand to stay sane. Or watch 24. Where's Jack when we need him?
