	Insurance(people that really should update their investment methods)and the privately held(includes direct controlled IRA/401K/ are the people that actually INVEST. You should read a prospectus from a mutual fund company. It is all about who the investment manager or trader is. ____________

	Lets stay focused on food please. Good idea... So is such sliminess such a good idea?: Horsemeat cancer fears raised by Labour A drug that can potentially cause cancer in humans may have entered the food chain via horses slaughtered... ... Ms Creagh told Mr Heath in the Commons: "I am in receipt of evidence showing that several horses slaughtered in UK abattoirs last year tested positive for phenylbutazone, or bute, a drug which causes cancer in humans and is banned from the human food chain. "It is possible that those animals entered the human food chain." ... All for corporate and/or personal greed? All on our planet, Martin ____________ Mandriva Linux A user friendly OS!

	"Due to health concerns over the quality of the meat contained in many commercially produced sausages (heightened by the BSE crisis in the 1990s) there has been a marked improvement in the quality of meat content in commonly available British sausages with a return to the artisanal production of high quality traditional recipes, which had previously been in decline. However many of the cheaper sausages available use mechanically recovered meat or meat slurry. There are various laws concerning the meat content of sausages in the UK. The minimum meat content to be labelled Pork Sausages is 42% (30% for other types of meat sausages), although to be classed as meat, the Pork can contain 30% fat and 25% connective tissue. Often the cheapest supermarket pork sausages do not have the necessary meat content to be described as Pork Sausages and are simply labelled 'Sausages'. These typically contain MRM which under EU law can no longer be described as meat " MRM(Mechanically recovered Meat) is known in the USA by the USDA as "Lean Finely Textured Pork", the pig version of pink slime. A way to slip additional connective tissues and fat back into the sausage and call it "meat". Even if it is not horse, it can be a very dangerous practice. ____________ Janice

	While said of another class of corporations, it applies to all the ones making pink slime: Jim Sleeper and Daniel J.H. Greenwood in The Atlantic wrote: The problem isn't that the profit-driven, legally constrained corporations driving violent entertainment are malevolent; it's that they're civically mindless. They're inherently incapable of free speech because the positions they take are just the result of fiduciaries -- directors, managers and public relations officers -- attempting to maximize stock value without regard to their own values, or anyone else's. Advances in manipulative advertising and a narrow focus on profit have made them runaway engines that can't be persuaded by rational or moral appeals to stop inciting exaggerated fears of armed home invasion, government takeovers, or fantasies of victory by gunplay. So long as the law and stock market demand they pursue profit, and selling guns and vengeance remains profitable, they'll keep doing it. Perhaps someone other than myself pointing out the real issue is fiduciaries doing their legal duty. This is raw legal ethics unleashed on the world. Citizens United needs to be overturned and if need be by amendment to make it clear that the grantor of a corporation, the State Government, is issuing a license and may place whatever constraints on that license it pleases. ____________

	Gary, you are sounding a bit like a subversive. No, only want to make changes through legal means. Overturning Citizens United is very important and if everyone would write their representatives and tell them this is important to them and that they are registered voters ... change can happen. Subversive, moi? Might be the only one here who was a on a list of names deposited with a special master as a Doe plaintiff suing the US Attorney General for injunctive relief. Relief was granted. Appellate court agreed. Congress promptly changed the law to make it moot before it made SCOTUS. Oh suing the US AG isn't to be taken lightly, it makes you a target. ____________

That way you would never have your grill catch on fire cooking a hamburger. :) I am against fraud. And feeding that stuff to us as hamburger is fraud. As long as the gatoraid is pink, I am sure the USDA would have no trouble including it in your "beef". I hate to even imagine what is actually i gatoraide. ____________ Janice

	Should you be worried about slime. Apparently 46% of food infections are caused by leafy greens. Most deaths are caused by poultry. LA Times

	Beyond the hormone injections,anti-biotic resistant bacteria and viral spread potential of the "slimes", virtually anything commercially produced can contain genetically altered meat/produce which often creates NEW viruses that come with the new DNA structures. I am developing a very healthy concern over all of it. More so in larger productions. This madness is fine. If you're mad at the time(C. Stevens) ____________ Janice

Yummy! As long as they don't start marketing kitty lasagna...LOL. Oh, and I suppose somebody will get busy and post me an article about kitties being considered a delicacy somewhere...... Given, other cultures are not the US market. Until then, gimme horsemeat, bison meat, cow intestines properly and with prudent sanitary considerations, and most any other 'what God gave us such creatures to eat' for my dinner. I don't think he intended companion animals like cats and dogs to be part of our food chain, although some have made them so, and other other side of the coin, a few have adopted cows and pigs to be pets. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you.
