Earliest memories are heading down into the basement of Kenwood Elementary School and hearing that click, click, click as my ticket was punched before you were heading into the lunchroom. Nowadays things have changed. My daughters have ids with a magnetic strip on the back that allows for them to debit their accounts much like you would a debit card, and i can write a check for any as well as getting online and making deposits. The times, they sure are a changing. But one thing hasnt changed, and that is the need to deal with the problems that sometimes arise. Back in the days with those little lunch tickets, sometimes they would get lost or destroyed or sometimes even taken away. Nowadays you have a swipe their card and find out that their balance is zero. Todays panel will be talking about School Lunch Policy and disagreement s as to what should be done when that lunch accounts balance goes to zero. With me on todays panel is dr. Brandi janssen, clinical assistant professor at the un
Industry which is common that, is career ending. Its going to be examined in a very detailed way. So the usual attack or feeling about our technology is actually the fda is extraordinarily conservative and resistant to allowing these sorts of things through. And, in fact, if i looked at the pressure that the pharmaceutical industry could bring to bear on the fda and sort of the heft of big pharma is far bigger than biotech like monsanto. It really surprises me that you think the fda is captured in the sense that it, you know, will allow junk science as you claim it to be to be the basis for regulatory approvals. And most of the people, those kinds of scientists that i referred to that, you know, they look at that stuff and they would have no problem at all saying its totally garbage because not everybody is captured by the monsantos in the world. Let me get a question in the center here. Get the boom over here. You brought references to high Blood Pressure and autism. I can draw the sa
Pray for forgiveness for everybody on earth which includes nonmuslims. 42 5. If allah wanted all the world tore muslims he would have made it such. You cannot compel mankind against their will to convert. Why cant we have these verses plastered on the twitter feeds or whenever they come up with like you can address the ideology, 9 of muslims are people and these guys have been isusing our religion and i dont understand why we cant get the funding. The verses. If youre harsh hearted, people will leave you, dont be severe. We need you and people like you. We need you and people like you in the United States government, right, to be able to lead that kind of a campaign. Youre exactly right. I dont disagree with what youre saying. Its not just an issue of funding. Its an issue of people and expertise and attracting those people. Isnt part of of the problem that the u. S. Government isnt equipped or constitutionally able to advocate anything in terms of religion. I think there are plenty of
To be true. Just a clarification. This idea talking points. One of the reasons why some of these things may occur as arguments again and again is that theyre actually right. Okay . There are many people that are saying these things. Theyre not using them as talking points. And this is a possibility to consider the same arguments are made generally with other groups there. Theyre well trodden paths. The second thing is i really think its a little disingeneralous to say you have nothing against genetically modified organism its they were tested enough. I heard the same thing with environmentalism and stuff. Actually, not you personally necessarily, but everything is being done to prevent the kinds of testing that you would require in order to certify that something is safe. It is absolutely impossible to prove that something is safe. You can show that you cant see any damage from it given the kinds of test thats are done. You cannot make that proof.
