Blame Free trade for this. Local farmer's markets get most of their food locally. Its the huge agricultural companies who have subsidiaries and contracts with numerous other companies that are causing the problems. Many countries are not required to keep records, in order to track the food back to its origin. I'm sure this information will be used to screw over the local farmers, who are not contributing to the problem. Just another demonstration of how our government is subservient to large… Continue

Its money over safety. Organizations who do this must be heavily punished or put out of business. Corporate executives who condone or know and do nothing need to go to jail. I hate it when executives resign, like that atones for what he/she did. Corporations care not one percent for the lives they ruin, unless they have to pay, then they say they care.

What an over reaction. So I guess the children can't play football, basketball, baseball or any other sport that may expose them to touching others. If this nonsense continues we might as well just sit home and do nothing. The world is to dangerous for us to go outside. We must be protected from ourselves. Children will be afraid to touch each other. Learning what is and is not appropriate is a part of growing up. Now all touching, good and bad are off-limits. This country is creating a society… Continue

What a douche. Our country owes vets a minimum of that much. Bush underfunded the program, but didn't sink as low as have them pay for their war caused disabilities. Remember they would not be in disabled if they had not been sent into war. War=Disabilities. The VA does poorly in many areas already, such as confirming claims of disability and has been sorely underfunded for most of its existence. Stories have come out that the VA has deliberately denied eligible veterans their claims. It is a… Continue

This is our government at work. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed cant get a normal trial by the US but they wont release information that involves him unless he wants to sign a waiver for privacy reasons. WTF? Priorities a little off I think.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Americans are exposed to seven times more radiation from diagnostic scans than in 1980, a report found on Tuesday as experts said doctors are overusing the tests for profit and raising health risks for patients.



The findings, issued by National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement, add to… Continue

That is way to high of a number. We have to many ridiculous laws. States are spending at least 30,000 a year for each prisoner. The number is for adults only, just think if those below 18 were added to the statistics what it would look like. Are we safer in the US because of the high rate of incarceration? Hard core offenders need to stay of course. However, to some in jail, they made a stupid mistake and will likely not be a repeat offender. Others were pushed beyond their limits and acted.… Continue
