FDA Proposes a Limit on Arsenic in Rice Cereal for Babies
by Tammy on April 3, 2016Um, thanks? Amazing what you think would be common sense yet is heralded as a great suggestion by a federal agency which even when dealing with arsenic, stopped short of advising parents to avoid infant rice cereal altogether.” Ugh. Via NY Times. The Food and Drug Administration proposed on Friday a limit for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal, saying that this common starter food is a leading source of exposure to the toxin. Infants are particularly vulnerable to arsenic in rice because, relative to body weight, they eat about three times more rice than adults. A growing body of research suggests that arsenic exposure is related not only to diminished intellectual function early in life, but also to adverse...

Propaganda Alert: Children’s Books Praise Hillary, The New Joan Of Arc
by Shifra on January 12, 2016Are these authors merely delusional? Or are they on the Hillary Campaign payroll ? Via WSJ: ….Two new picture books put such a gloss on the life and career of the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president that book editors in Pyongyang could take a few tips from them. In the doctrine of these tales for children 4 to 8, not only has the mark of greatness been upon Hillary Clinton since her birth, but she has also been the liberator of her people—that is, of women. Michelle Markel’s “ Hillary Rodham Clinton: Some Girls Are Born to Lead” (HarperCollins) begins with an alarming account of the darkness that enfolded this land as recently as the 1950s, when, horrible to...

by Shifra on June 25, 2015Public school kids around the country are now dealing drugs salt and pepper. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Great job, Mooch!

by Shifra on May 22, 2015Yes, a children’s book about poverty, gender equality, epidemics, climate change, and endangered species.
