TVNL Editor's Comments: Oh Government....Please Protect Me From Those Threatening Vitamins!

While he Bush administration makes sure that we have the freedom to breath in more pollutants every day, and while they allow environmental polluters to comply with voluntary regulations the FDA is getting ready to protect Americans from all of those dangerous nutrients that we need to live! That's right...vitamins are about to be outlawed!

Do a little research and you will find that there is a world wide effort, backed by big pharma, to keep nutrients out of the hands of citizens. This is outrageous!

The FDA, an institution that has made an art form out of approving drugs with more dangerous side effects than a drunk driver, is about to protect you from vitamin C! Ladies and gentlemen...these people must be stopped! I ask you to do a little research on this. The issue is bigger than one or two recent articles on may indicate!

It becomes more apparent every day that government has become the enemy of the people. It is going to be interesting to see how far we citizens let this go. Think about it! Jesse Richard – Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
