There is something in the United States called the Anti-Trust Law, designed to limit behavior by businesses that eliminate competition. It also protects the consumer by stopping unfair business practices, and giving them a choice in products.

Let's say all of the dyes in our clothing came from one source, and the scientists that made that dye decided to try a new formula for strengthening the colors, but it resulted in people everywhere breaking out in rashes.

Why? What makes this okay? "Gray areas in the law?" No, the law is pretty clear.

How safe are they?

And who is taking these polls that state "GM foods have been largely accepted by the Americans, with nearly 70% of them saying that they would buy GM foods."

Something to think about next time you look at your 10 year old daughter and she looks like a young woman, or when your 12 year old boy is a little too aggressive, or a little too passive. If you feel a little funny after you eat a meal, and you find your body reacting to things in an unnatural manner...ask yourself, "What am I putting into my body?" or rather, "What are they feeding me?"
