POPSFor Profit Health Care at the Root of the Problem How about changing our fire departments to for profit companies? They'd put out fires depending on the worth of the property. Anything under $250,000 is not worth fooling with. Sounds good, doesn't it? We already have for profit soldiers fighting our wars for us. And for profit prisons. Why is health care for profit anyway. The quick answer, of course, it because it makes a lot of money. Should it? I think not. And I think the for profit fire house is a load of BS too.

POPSFood, Inc.: How factory farming affects you (movie trailer on site)
But despite the factory-farm scenes, some of the most thought-provoking moments were these statements that were spoken or flashed on the screen. According to the filmmakers: In 1972, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted 50,000 food safety inspections. In 2006, the FDA conducted only 9,164. In 1996 when it introduced Round-Up Ready soybeans, Monsanto controlled only 2 percent of the U.S. soybean market. Now, over 90 percent of soybeans in the U.S. contain Monsanto's patented gene. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was an attorney at Monsanto from 1976 to 1979. After his appointment to the Supreme Court, Justice Thomas wrote the majority opinion in a case that helped Monsanto enforce its seed patents. 70 percent of processed foods have some genetically modified ingredient. (Genetically modified crops are not labeled in the U.S. even though 90 percent of consumers have said they want labeling.) 1 in 3 Americans born after 2000 will contract early onset diabe

POPSStudies Find Mercury in Much US Corn Syrup It is amazing what foods use corn syrup. Just shows how processed foods are manufactured - you don't know what is in them. Seaweed, for instance, is used in a lot of foods as a bulking agent. Healthy, but why?

POPSWas the FDA Report on 'Bisphenol A' Ghostwritten? Buried deep in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article is a very interesting factoid: "Bisphenol A was developed in 1891 as a synthetic estrogen. It came into widespread use in the 1950s when scientists realized it could be used to make polycarbonate plastic and some epoxy resins to line food and beverage cans." About 5-10 million people were exposed to the synthetic estrogen DES between 1938-1971, and the health of so-called "DES Daughters" is still being followed due to their increased risk for vaginal and cervical cancer, reproductive tract structural differences, pregnancy complications, and infertility.

POPSHershey's is going cheap and hoping you won't notice The FDA, in it's attempt to protect us from deceptive advertising practices, has forced Hershey's to admit they no longer use cocoa butter in their products. However, FDA ruling will not prevent Hershey from practicing deception. The packaging looks exactly the same. They are selling an inferior product and they’re not even telling anyone. Do you feel betrayed yet? In a statement, Hershey’s told TODAY that consumers love its products and all its candies are clearly labeled. It still offers real milk chocolate in Hershey’s Kisses, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and its classic chocolate bar. Most corporations deal with increasing cost by raising their prices, Hershey's substituted inferior ingredients and tried to slip it past us. Buyer beware!
