Two outrageous stories

Illegal steroids, some of them sold to high school coaches....just a few miles from here! The figures offered by authorities say that ten million dollars worth were sold in New York State and "at least $250,000 in illegal and controlled substances were sold directly into Albany County."

Officials claim that they are not going to name the "patients" who were buying these substances. I am thinking that if college and high school coaches were buying them for their players, parents should know who they were. I know I would want to.

And Bonny Prince Charlie is railing against Mickie D's foods, which would be just fine if he didn't run a huge organic food company, which he promotes relentlessly. Right now he looks to me like he is just trying to hobble the competition. I am not a big fan of fast food, but ulterior motives aren't my favorite either.

I'm not a fan of fast food either. I'd rather go hungry than eat a big Mac. But obviously they are giving the public what it wants to eat or they wouldn't be in business. The last I heard they also offered salads.

I'm just really tired of reading all the criticism from people with vested interests just because they are successful.

Hi Jan, I find the current thinking, that we are all too dumb to feed and care for ourselves, so demeaning, especially since, as soon as you look below the surface, everyone seems to have an agenda that has nothing to do with our health and everything to do with their pocketbook.

FC, I see that the Albany district attorney was down there for some arrests. Shocking thing altogether!

Hmmmm. Sure seems like "full disclosure" is in order from those in the "know".

Doubtful...yet wishful thinking.

Enjoying your blog!
