Homeopathy on Trial?
Not yet, but it could happen. Via the “Journal of Are You Fucking Kidding” (JAYFK), comes an update on a class-action lawsuit in California against Boiron, one of the largest manufacturers of homeopathic products in the world. Why? Because one of its products, “Children’s Coldcalm,” is “… nothing more than a sugar tablet.” Defendants are defrauding Californians by claiming that a tablet...
“An Aspirational Picture”
As I noted a couple of years back, in my “Photoshop Phun” post: No matter how perfect your diet and workout is, you will never be perfect. Ever. You will never look like the beauties gracing magazine covers and advertisements. Don’t even imagine you can go there.

The primary ingredients are sugar and palm oil… the “nut” part...

Not only is the CSPI’s lawsuit moving forward, it may also have to tangle with the FTC… if the National Consumers League has its way. The makers of vitaminwater are using claims to sell their products that are making consumer advocates call “foul.” In a new complaint to the Federal Trade Commission, NCL is...
Taco Bell Sued Over “Taco Meat Filling”
According to the LA Times, Taco Bell is being sued over the beef in its tacos. The class-action suit, filed on behalf of Amanda Obney, claims that the chain restaurant’s “Taco Meat Filling” is only 36% beef… waaaay short of the standard definition of “beef.” The class-action suit, which does not ask for money, objects to Taco Bell calling its products “seasoned ground beef or seasoned beef,...
