    Kim replied to the forum topic Could this really be the truth behind all the terror? in the group News & Economy December 21, 2012 2:13 am

    I know about what happened, but truthfully I haven’t been reading much about it.  Just heart breaking though. :(   I really hope there isn’t a connection, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

    I think many ppl would be terrified if they ever found out exactly what was in the food the FDA has approved in the U.S.  It amazes me every day that Americans are still walking upright.

    The scary thing is that the US likes to say that we do not have Mad Cow in the US.  Truth is that we do… they just cover it up.  I have a friend that raises cattle that laughed when I said we didn’t have it […]

    Honestly this is gross.  I can see not wasting the animal, but if the animal died prior to slaughter then there was probably something wrong with it.  As it is these animals already go into pet food and I firmly […]

    This is disturbing news.  There is far to many ways that not so savory ppl could easily become greedy, and corupt. Leading to far too many ppl becoming sick from one animal.

     

    Way too much freedom, in some […]

    If people choose to drink raw milk then they should be able to.  They aren’t hurting anyone.  Yes there is a risk for expectant moms, but it is their choice.  It isn’t just the raw milk thing that stuff like […]

    I’m just floored at how the government uses its own people as unknowing guinea pigs.  Make one wonder what else they are doing to us.
