But it's his commitment to ungoverned corporate privilege that will nose-dive this economy into true insolvency and chaos — the kind of chaos you can't buy back. Money is only so much paper to the undead."

Skepticblog » Integrative Medicine Propaganda
http://www.skepticblog.org/2012/10/29/integrative-medicine-propaganda/#more-19599
To some practitioners all health issues are about nutrition and
toxins, because that is what they treat. The standard medical
paradigm, however, recognizes nutritional and toxic diseases, but also
infectious, auto-immune, degenerative, anatomical, genetic,
developmental, metabolic, psychological, and physiological causes of
illness. We recognize and study the influence of diet and lifestyle on
health and disease. It is yet another strawman (a demonstrably wrong
and unfair one) to claims that mainstream medicine is all about drugs
and surgery and for some reason ignores certain disease etiologies.
Just read any standard medical textbook, or browse the medical
literature, and you will see that this is true.

The Plot to Destroy America's Beer - Businessweek
There has never been a beer company like AB InBev. It was created in 2008 when InBev, the Leuven (Belgium)-based owner of Beck's and Stella Artois, swallowed Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Budweiser, in a $52 billion hostile takeover. Today, AB InBev is the dominant beer company in the U.S., with 48 percent of the market. It controls 69 percent in Brazil; it's the second-largest brewer in Russia and the third-largest in China. The company owns more than 200 different beers around the world. It would like to buy more.
