Chick Nuggets Healthier Than Turkey or Salami on Wheat

So says the Food Police.

Hey folks,

What is in a Chicken Nugget? Do you know? You may not want to look it up. Here is a tip for ya. It ain't healthy. Remember that story we just did about the Chicken Nugget Diet? Trust me folks, if you like Chicken Nuggets, or you are eating Breakfast, wait until you are really ready to know before you check it out. What's in Chicken Nuggets?

Now lets talk Turkey. White meat, carved, or in this case most likely sliced, on Wheat Bread, with Cheese. A Banana. Juice. Which do you think may be healthier? Nope. Not according to Federal Guidelines. I guess.

You've heard the story by now.

“The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.”

So the Agent order her to get Chicken Nuggets. Breaded and processed garbage. At a COST to the Parent by the way.

This is just a misunderstanding folks. No big deal. Do not worry about it. The media got it all wrong. Really? According to The Blaze - Exclusive: 2nd N.C. Mother Says Daughter’s School Lunch Replaced for Not Being Healthy Enough Posted on February 17, 2012 at 12:31pm by Madeleine Morgenstern

North Carolina officials have said there was a misunderstanding when a preschooler’s homemade lunch was sent home for not meeting certain nutritional requirements, but now a second mother from the same school has come forward exclusively to The Blaze to say the same thing happened to her daughter.

Diane Zambrano says her 4-year-old daughter, Jazlyn, is in the same West Hoke Elementary School class as the little girl whose lunch gained national attention earlier this week. When Zambrano picked Jazlyn up from school late last month, she was told by Jazlyn’s teacher that the lunch she had packed that day did not meet the necessary guidelines and that Jazlyn had been sent to the cafeteria.

The lunch Zambrano packed for her daughter? A cheese and salami sandwich on a wheat bun with apple juice. The lunch she got in the cafeteria? Chicken nuggets, a sweet potato, bread and milk.

{Sigh} You know, if this ever happens with Josh or Eli, the OPNTalk Blog may have to take a bit of a hiatus. I will be looking for someone to bail me out of Jail most likely. Can you imagine this. You want your Kiddies to eat healthier. You take the time and the money to buy stuff to make for your Kid's Lunch. They come home with a Bill for $1.50 for Chicken Nuggets because the School did not like what you sent? They would have to pry me off the Ceiling.

“She never eats breakfast or lunch at the school,” Zambrano said of her daughter during an interview with The Blaze. “We always wake up early and make her lunch.”

It happens “every so often”

That day, Zambrano said she picked Jazlyn up from school and asked if she ate her lunch.

“She’s not picky about food but you have to be on top of her,” she explained.

When Jazlyn said she didn’t eat what her mother had made her, Zambrano went to her teacher and demanded to know what happened. She said the teacher told her an official had come through that day to inspect students’ lunches and that those who were lacking certain food groups were sent to the cafeteria. After she received her cafeteria food, the teacher told Zambrano, Jazlyn was told to put her homemade lunch back in her lunchbox and set it on the floor.

Zambrano said the teacher told her it was not the first time student lunches have been inspected, and that officials come “every so often.”

Part of a regular program?

The policing of children’s food at West Hoke has been portrayed as an isolated incident, but a curious memo Jazlyn brought home to her mother seems to point to something more.

The memo Jazlyn brought from the school outlines the necessary nutritional requirements students’ homemade lunches must contain: two servings of fruit or vegetables, one serving of dairy, one serving of grain and one serving of meat or meat substitute. Included with the memo was a separate sheet, this one a bill for the cafeteria food Jazlyn was served.

The memo, dated Jan. 27 with the subject line “RE: Healthy Lunches,” was signed by school principal Jackie Samuels and said, while “we welcome students to bring lunches from home … it must be a nutritious, balanced meal with the above requirements. Students, who do not bring a healthy lunch, will be offered the missing portions which may result in a fee from the cafeteria.”

Zambrano, who’s volunteered at the school in the past, said she was never told about any such nutritional requirements before her daughter’s lunch was replaced.

“That‘s not really the school’s responsibility,” she said, adding she’s extremely health-conscious and doesn’t feed her daughter junk food or let her drink soda — or even eat the tater tots or other fried foods often served in the cafeteria.

“They give the choice of pizza and hot donuts…none of that is healthy,” Zambrano said.

According to the program requirements for North Carolina’s pre-kindergarten program, schools “must provide breakfast and/or snacks and lunch meeting USDA requirements during the regular school day.”

The partial or full cost of meals, the requirements state, “may be charged when families do not qualify for free/reduced price meals. 
When children bring their own food for meals and snacks to the center, if the food does not meet the specified nutritional requirements, the center must provide additional food necessary to meet those requirements.”

The school’s reaction

Reached Friday morning, a representative from the Hoke County School Superintendent‘s office denied knowing anything about what happened with Jazlyn’s lunch and said they had no record of a complaint. Reached again, a different representative said they had “no information at this time” about the situation. A West Hoke Elementary official similarly denied any knowledge and referred all questions to the school district.

Principal Samuels previously told the Carolina Journal he “didn’t know anything about” parents being charged for cafeteria meals after the first preschooler’s mother — who has not been identified — came forward.

Bob Barnes, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, told the McClatchy News Service Thursday that the first preschooler to make headlines just misunderstood her teacher when she thought she was told to ditch her homemade lunch for one from the cafeteria: the cafeteria items were only meant to supplement the food groups missing from the homemade lunch.

“We are not the lunch bag police,” Barnes told McClatchy. “We would never put a child in any type of embarrassing situation. But we are responsible to see that every child gets a nutritious meal.”

No you are NOT responsible to override the Parents choice of meal. Yes. I get if you are making the Lunches, you must follow guidelines. Still, calling Chicken Nuggets Nutritious is a bit of a stretch, but I get that. However, if a Parent CHOOSES to send in a Lunch, you are NOT to interfere with that Parent Child Relationship. You have NO Authority to do so.

Barnes confirmed there was an agent from Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Child Development and Early Education at the school Jan. 30 who examined six student lunches and determined one did not make the nutritional cut — presumably the first little girl whose story made news.

Zambrano said she‘s not positive which day Jazlyn’s lunch was inspected, whether it was Jan. 27 — the date the memo was issued — or Jan. 30. Either way, one of two conclusions seem plausible: more than one student’s lunch was changed, or an official inspected student lunches on more than one occasion — which Zambrano said Jazlyn’s teacher told her had been the case.

In a statement to The Blaze, the Division of Child Development and Early Education said it is investigating what happened but flatly denied any of its employees or contractors “instructed any child to replace or remove any meal items.” The division issued a similar statement to McClatchy even after Barnes said it was one of their agents who examined the lunches.

“It is not DHHS’ policy to inspect, go through or question any child about food items brought from home. The facts we have gathered confirm that no DHHS employee or contractor did this,” the statement said.

So I guess in Today's Health and Science Segment we learn that Chicken Nuggets are HEALTHIER than White meat Turkey on Wheat. I guess we learn that, just like with everything else, the Government thinks it knows better than US. As for "The facts we have gathered confirm that no DHHS employee or contractor did this,” there appears to be several Kids and Parents that would disagree.

This is a no brainer folks. Chicken Nuggets are NOT the most Healthy choice for Lunch, Dinner, whatever. Parents the which to keep their kids away from Breaded Processed Garbage have a RIGHT to do so. What say you? Do the search. Check out Chicken Nuggets. You decide.

Obama Cave On Religious RULE?

No not really. He is still operating outside the Law.

Hey folks,

Remember back on Sunday, January 22, 2012, I told you about this. OPNTalk - Obama Ruled?

Obama Ruled????? Really? Obama RULED?!?!? But do not worry The All Knowing, All Merciful, King Barack Hussein Obama, has given them one year to comply. Obama Ruled? Where are the cries of Separ,,,never mind.

So Obama demands that Private Religious Organization MUST offer Birth Control. He has NO Authority to do this folks. NONE. It IS Unconstitutional. But then again, MOST of the things that Obama does IS Unconstitutional. One of the Problems is NO ONE is calling him on it. The Media LOVE what he does. They LOVE it. They are also controlled by the Liberal Left Kook Fringe. They simply Report, or NOT Report, whatever they are told.

Well, to their "Surprise," Religious Organizations said they would not comply. Imagine that. They said that this, and they are right, is a direct Violation of the U.S. Constitution. They basically told Obama, "Rule all you want, you mean NOTHING to us, and basically, uh, well, Screw Off."

I'm sure there were all kinds of Lawyers, "Experts," ETC that got involved here and told the Obama Administration, "You really can't do this. This is way too Obvious. Even most people that have no clue what the Constitution says, will see this for what it is. A direct assault on Religion." So Obama "caved." No not really. He is still operating outside the Law. According to Life Site News - Catholic and pro-life leaders slam White House ‘compromise’ on birth control mandate by Kathleen Gilbert Fri Feb 10, 2012 11:32 EST

WASHINGTON, February 10, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The White House announced today that, instead of forcing religious employers to pay for birth control, it will force insurance companies to offer the drugs free of charge to all women, no matter where they work.

Stop right there a second. Obama CAN'T force Religious Employers to do ANYTHING. He has no authority over them AT ALL. I know that irks him and most Liberals, but it's true. NO authority whatsoever. NONE. Zero. He can "Rule" all he wants, but they can and should do exactly what they did. Say Screw Off.

The plan, put forward as a concession to freedom of religion, was immediately denounced by Catholic Rep. Chris Smith as fundamentally the exact same mandate.

“The so-called new policy is the discredited old policy, dressed up to look like something else,” said Smith. “It remains a serious violation of religious freedom. Only the most naive or gullible would accept this as a change in policy.”

“The White House Fact Sheet is riddled with doublespeak and contradiction,” Smith continued. “It states, for example, that religious employers ‘will not’ have to pay for abortion pills, sterilization and contraception, but their ‘insurance companies’ will. Who pays for the insurance policy? The religious employer.”

Yup. What happens when your Insurance Company adds new stuff they cover? Your Premium goes up. YOU are paying more to cover the new stuff. So in an indirect way, they would STILL be paying for what Obama wants them to pay for.

In a statement released today, the White House said, “Under the new policy announced today, women will have free preventive care that includes contraceptive services no matter where she works.”

“If a woman works for religious employers with objections to providing contraceptive services as part of its health plan, the religious employer will not be required to provide contraception coverage but her insurance company will be required to offer contraceptive care free of charge.”

Paid for by whom? Nothing is FREE. Especially when Government gets involved.

The birth control rule announced last summer was intended to force virtually all employers to cover sterilizations and contraception, including abortifacient drugs such as ella, a sister drug to RU-486. The religious employer exemption essentially applied only to houses of worship, creating an uproar in the Catholic and Christian community as hospitals, schools, and charities would have been forced to pay for the drugs. The furor only grew stronger when the administration announced last month that the concerned religious organizations would be given an extra year to comply.

President Obama reiterated the statement in a press conference this afternoon, saying that “the insurance company, not the hospital, not the charity, will be required to reach out” to women employed by such institutions to offer birth control “without copays, without hassles.”

It doesn't matter what Obama "Rules" or says. He does not have the Authority to do this. But I guess it's OK, If these Religious Organizations refuse and drop the Insurance coverage all together, Obamacare will be glad to pick these people up. Right?

Before it was released, the new rule was expected to be similar to coverage laws in Hawaii that allow employers with religious objections not to directly pay for contraception, but instead to direct employees on how to conveniently access all such drugs and procedures, an option one Catholic spokesman already said would be materially inadequate.

“It would be no improvement to say: ‘Sure, you don’t have to include the coverage, you just have to send all your lay employees and women religious to the local Planned Parenthood clinic,’” Richard Doerflinger of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said in an email to the Weekly Standard.

The reworded mandate offered even less of a concession to religious freedom than the Hawaii rules, as it still leaves religious employers footing the premium bill for employees receiving free contraception through their insurance.

Bill Donohue of the Catholic League said the new phraseology merely “adds insult to injury.”

“If the insurance plan of a Catholic institution must cover services it deems immoral, then such a healthcare plan is offensive, plain and simple,” said Donohue in a statement Friday. “When it comes to the First Amendment, there is no such thing as a half loaf.”

Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League also told LifeSiteNews.com that the new rule amounted to a “shell game.” “At the end of the day, religious employers are still required to provide insurance plans that offer free contraceptives, sterilizations and abortifacients in violation of their moral tenets,” he said.

The country’s Catholic bishops have not yet responded to the White House’s statement. However, both Planned Parenthood and the Catholic Health Association (CHA) have expressed satisfaction with the new plan.

Of course they are satisfied with is. Look at all that new Money...

“The framework developed has responded to the issues we identified that needed to be fixed,” said Sr. Carol Keehan of CHA. Keehan and her organization are perhaps best known for flouting the position of the Catholic bishops during the fight over Obama’s health care reform, throwing their weight behind the bill despite the opposition of the U.S. bishops over concerns the bill would increase abortion funding. Keehan was personally singled out by former USCCB President Cardinal Francis George for condemnation for her role in helping pass the health reform law.

Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards issued a statement, saying: “In the face of a misleading and outrageous assault on women’s health, the Obama administration has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring all women will have access to birth control coverage, with no costly co-pays, no additional hurdles, and no matter where they work.

“We believe the compliance mechanism does not compromise a woman.s ability to access these critical birth control benefits. However we will be vigilant in holding the administration and the institutions accountable for a rigorous, fair and consistent implementation of the policy, which does not compromise the essential principles of access to care.”

YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY to hold ANY Religious Organization accountable to YOU for ANYTHING. Nothing. They do not answer to Planned Parenthood, or the US Government. So you Twit, Screw Off. On a side note, did you know most Abortions in this Country are preformed on and by Liberals. They are killing themselves off. Just an Observation..

Green Energy Can NOT Sustain Itself

Another example of Green Energy NEEDING Propping up by YOU.

Hey folks.

Happy Tuesday to ya. Hope you all had a GREAT Christmas and ARE having a GREAT Hanukkah. We are now counting down to the end of 2011 and heading to 2012 at Warp Speed. Are you ready? But it IS Tuesday, and back to Life and to Reality for most. Well, for a couple of days anyway. There WILL be a Big Sunday Edition this week complete with the Idiot of the Year and Display of Logic Award for the Year this Sunday. The very FIRST day of 2012.

But it IS Tuesday, December 26th 2011, so lets check in at the Energy Front. We have been talking about the Free Market. The fact that the Free Market WORKS. We have been talking a LOT about the Keystone Pipeline and the fact we have a President that would rather NOT increase American Security, DECREASE Energy Costs, and CREATE Tens if not HUNDREDS of Thousands of NEW and long lasting JOBS, in the name of Politics and pushing a FAILED agenda.

No, he and others would rather continue to Push the Green Dream, even know the Green Dream is NOT Sustainable WITHOUT using YOUR Tax Money to prop them up. Well, it not just here. According to the UK Guardian - Bright future for solar dims after feed-in tariff cut guardian.co.uk, Sunday 25 December 2011 16.00 EST

It can come as no surprise that the Department of Energy and Climate Change lost the feed-in-tariffs case (Report, 22 December). No matter what the motivation, you cannot make changes prior to the close of a consultation period. However, after the celebrations or commiserations, ministers will hopefully take the opportunity to address the two fundamental problems that still exist: lack of a sufficient budget to support this growing industry, and a proposed structure that disadvantages smaller companies.

OK so basically, all these people were attempting to get Solar Panels installed, not because they wanted to GO GREEN, but because there is a pretty good PAYOUT by the Government to do so. The ONLY reason that most of these people applied and were going to actually BUY the Industry's Product, was because they were going to GET Money from the Government to Pay for them. No money from the Government, or a CUT in the Money from the Government, means that they would NOT want to foot the Expense themselves, therefore no one would buy the Product, {Solar Panels} meaning that the Companies would shut down. So even though there is no money to support this, they Government has been told by this Judge that they CAN'T cut the funding. They are using a Legal Maneuver to keep the Gravy Train going.

The decision to decrease the percentage return on solar photovoltaic to single figures is sensible and expected. However, to base these rates on budget levels calculated as part of the comprehensive spending review, set in November 2010, is out of line with the current economic picture. Since the decision was taken last year to create a fixed budget for the tariff, the government has changed its overall strategy and now recognises the need to inject funds into the economy to stimulate business and create jobs. The emerging renewable energy industry is showing sustained growth, with companies investing millions to satisfy the growing demand for solar microgeneration, creating thousands of new jobs. This is now in jeopardy.

But see this is all nonsense. It really is. IF there IS a "growing demand for solar microgeneration" then funding for it would EXIST. The Free Market WORKS. Look at the I Phone 4S. It isn't cheap. Yet, the Growing Demand for it is insane. People are PAYING full price and lining up to do so. Apple is happy. They can't make them fast enough. No Subsidises needed. No Tax money going out to reimburse people for buying it. The more people buy it, the CHEAPER it will become. THAT is a Demand. That is the Free Market. NOT Government funded PROP.

Second, one of the fastest-expanding industry sectors – small businesses installing solar PV – will be squeezed out of the market if the government's plans on linking feed-in tariffs to energy efficiency measures goes ahead. Most SMEs are specialist installers not geared up to install energy-efficient measures such as cavity or solid-wall insulation. Only larger companies who can invest in the infrastructure necessary to offer a total installed solution would be able to cost-effectively operate in the marketplace.

So what? Apple can afford to make the I Phone 4S. They are reaping the rewards. Smaller companies CAN'T, so they make OTHER things. Not get the Government to give them money to make up the Difference. This is all completely ridiculous. If I build homes and I have the money to invest in building Million Dollar Homes, Marble, Gold Faucets, ETC, then I reap the rewards by people BUYING my Homes. If you CAN'T invest in these things, then you build Modular Homes and sell them. If you can not invest in THAT then you should get out of the building business all together. The Free Market WORKS folks. And YES, those that take chances and INVEST in their Passion and Field of endeavour, sometimes reap the Rewards of their Investments. Sometimes they fail and have to reevaluate.

If the model set out in the consultation goes ahead, the industry will no longer be one dominated by SMEs. It will unfairly favour large organisations which can offer a far more diverse package of products. The sustainable energy industry is one of the few success stories where performance is going in the right direction. With a little care and foresight, it will gather momentum and stimulate economic growth, while contributing to energy security.

Paul Roche
Director of renewables and sustainability, Grafton Group

So what Mr. Roche is saying here is simple. Another example of Green Energy NEEDING Propping up by YOU. There is NO REAL GROWING DEMAND. It is FALSE. Phony. It is a SHOW. It is people being PROPPED UP by Government, funded by YOU, and sustained with handouts. It is NOT Supply and Demand. It is NOT the Free Market. And it IS, just that simple.

The Government Wants Your Health Records. All of Them

Preview for Sunday 092511

Hey folks,

Happy Sunday to ya. Welcome to the Our oPinion Network. I AM of course your Provocateur of thought himself, Peter Carlock and this IS the OPNTalk Big Sunday Edition. Glad you could stop by. Always remember, if YOU want to be a part of the OPNTalk Blog, or just say Hi, the Email is opntalk@gmail.com.

There is a new Development in Russia that needs the attention of all those in Washington. I have told you for years that Putin was not going anywhere and that HE was still in charge. Now EVERYONE is saying it, and it turns out him and the current President will be Job Swapping. More on that as we get into the days events. Also coming right up today,

So now Obama wants your Medical Records. ALL of them. Did you catch this? According toThe Washington Examiner - Obamacare HHS rule would give government everybody’s health records

It’s been said a thousand times: Congress had to pass President Obama’s health care law in order to find out what’s in it. But, despite the repetitiveness, the level of shock from each new discovery never seems to recede.

This time, America is learning about the federal government’s plan to collect and aggregate confidential patient records for every one of us.

So forget the Doctor Patient Privilege, now Obama and Crew and others in Government will know all your Health information. Including your Personal information like how you are paying for it, ETC. When are we going to see Obama's? Hm? When will he release HIS Health Records? While he is at it, why not release his school records as well, maybe then, he will actually have something to point to to show his Brilliance. Yeah I know.

Get ready folks, 2012 is coming. We need to get rid of Obamacare all together. We need to reverse all the damage that this Administration has been doing. We need to get rid of Obama himself. We need to send reinforcements. Only by sheer numbers can we fix the mess we are in. Four more years of Obama and Crew? THAT we can not afford. America itself is at stake here. The Good news? People are starting to recognize this for what it is. the TRUTH.

Be right back.

Ozone Protection At Expense Of Children

More GWBS. It really is, just that simple.

Hey folks,

In the Health and Science Segment today, I want to talk about the Environuts for a second. We all know they are out there. Those that feel WE, the Human Race, are a disdain on this World. That WE, the Human Race, are responsible for all the ills that occur, both here in America, and all over the World. We are the cause, for Species of ALL types, becoming extinct. These are those that are easily fooled, and quick to sign up for any kind of movement that makes them FEEL good. That make them FEEL as if they are important. These are they that have FULLY converted to the Religion that IS Global Warming.

There are many in this movement that feel to save the Earth, we must put PEOPLE second, third, or even LAST, over EVERYTHING they deem as natural and good. We see this all the time. The Freaks out there like Green Peace, that ATTACK and Destroy Personal and Private Property. They are not alone. There are many Groups out there like them. The Groups of Environuts that say the Farmer that has owned the Land for Generations, that tear down a House to build a new one, say NO. They found a Mouse. So sorry, the Farmer is out of luck. The Mouse must be protected. Screw the Farmer.

These are those that have FORCED us to not build any more Refineries, Nuclear Plants, or Drill for our own VAST resources for our OWN affordable Energy. These are those that Lobby for NEW Laws and Regulations that HURT People and the Economy, all in the name of Saving the Planet. In the name of Saving Animals of all types, they actively advocate Sterilization and Abortion. Less people, the better for the Planet.

These are those that, have the inability to actually THINK for themselves, to apply Logic and Reason, that simply, without any real proof, accept what they are told. They are the Sheeple. Those that Blindly follow the Movement in the HOPE that their lives will become important and relevant. They have the inability to take thought of the Consequences of their actions. The long term consequences. What happens IF? Just do whatever they are told and that they think is the right thing to do. Look at our Energy Crisis we are in today. Look how California is under water and near Bankruptcy today, after YEARS of Environut Rules and Regulations.

Now, one of the new movements is to ban Asthma Inhalers. Yup. Now those with Asthma, will have to have a Prescription, and will have to use only those Inhalers that the Environuts deem OK. I'm not kidding. According to Time Online - FDA: Ozone-Unfriendly Asthma Inhalers Won't Be Available After 2011 By Associated Press Friday, September 23, 2011 —By MATTHEW PERRONE

Asthma patients who rely on over-the-counter inhalers will need to switch to prescription-only alternatives as part of the federal government's latest attempt to protect the Earth's atmosphere.

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday patients who use the epinephrine inhalers to treat mild asthma will need to switch by Dec. 31 to other types that do not contain chlorofluorocarbons, an aerosol substance once found in a variety of spray products.

The action is part of an agreement signed by the U.S. and other nations to stop using substances that deplete the ozone layer, a region in the atmosphere that helps block harmful ultraviolet rays from the Sun.

Forget the FACTS here. Forget that the Ozone is NOT depleting. It is NOT going away. The "Hole" is not even as big as they said it was or will be by this time. None of this is REAL. All this is? More GWBS. It really is, just that simple.

But the switch to a greener inhaler will cost consumers more. Epinephrine inhalers are available via online retailers for around $20, whereas the alternatives, which contain the drug albuterol, range from $30 to $60.

{Sigh} As with the ENTIRE "Green Movement" it always boils down to Power, Control, and of course, MONEY.

The FDA finalized plans to phase out the products in 2008 and currently only Armstrong Pharmaceutical's Primatene mist is available in the U.S. Other manufacturers have switched to an environmentally-friendly propellant called hydrofluoroalkane. Both types of inhalers offer quick-relief to symptoms like shortness of breath and chest tightness, but the environmentally-friendly inhalers are only available via prescription.

"If you rely on an over-the-counter inhaler to relieve your asthma symptoms, it is important that you contact a health care professional to talk about switching to a different medicine to treat your asthma," said Badrul Chowdhury, FDA's director of pulmonary drug division.

Chowdhury told reporters and doctors via teleconference that "in the worst case scenario we are looking at 1 to 2 million people using" Primatene, adding that most of those patients likely use multiple medications to treat their asthma.

So the ONLY one they want you to use is Armstrong Pharmaceutical's Primatene Mist? Who is owned by Amphastar Pharmaceuticals? I wonder where they stand on this issue? Hm? The Government is about to FORCE 1 to 2 million people to start increasing their cost from $20.00 to $60.00, and to ONLY use Armstrong Pharmaceutical's Primatene Mist? Do the Math folks. I do not need to do it for you. So someone, like my Niece, who needs to rely on these Inhalers for emergency situations, NOW will have to go to a Doctor, Pay for that. Then go with a Prescription to the Drug Store, and Pay $40.00 MORE? From only ONE Company? More and more people are choosing to use Generic Drugs. More and more Insurance Companies are making it more affordable for people to join their Programs, if they agree to the use of Generic. But here comes the Federal Government that says no longer. No. You MUST use this one particular Name Brand Drug. You will have no other choice.

Another troubling aspect of this is that we now have the Federal Government ACTIVELY seeking to put Private Companies out of Business. Creating Laws to make it IMPOSSIBLE for them to operate. I would LOVE to know if Amphastar Pharmaceuticals or Armstrong Pharmaceutical has donated money to the Federal Government, and WHO they Donated to. Any links to the FDA? Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) IS the Chairwoman for the Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, and of course, Dr. Margaret Ann Hamburg, former Employee of Nuclear Threat Initiative, a group founded by Ted Turner, former Assistant Health Secretary in the Clinton Administration, and Obama's Hand Picked Head of the FDA. Just saying.

Either way, and for whatever reason, here we have the Federal Government, once again, interfering in our Personal lives, the Free Market, and the health of the American People. They are doing this, which I do not believe they have the Constitutional RIGHT to do, in the name of Saving the Planet. This is why it is so important to make sure that more and more people learn the Reality and Truth, that these is NO MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING! There is NO no immediate threat, or pending Doom for us or our beloved Planet. However, as long as there is enough Sheeple out there that will buy into the Hoax, which allows them to come in and strip away Freedoms and control People's Private lives, the hoax will live on.
