FDA OKs Monthly Drug for Osteoporosis

What a great idea! This way, large pharmaceutical firms can make money, and large industrial dairies can keep pumping out nutrient-free (also known as "low fat", "reduced fat" "skim" and "homogenized") milk and American woman can pay for it all with broken bodies!

Think I'm just grandstanding? Ask your grandparents if they remember a senior relative from their childhood with brittle bone disease. Then do a bit of research and find out when pasteurization was made de jure and homogenization became de rigueur for dairymen...

AP - A once-a-month pill to help women battle the bone-weakening disease osteoporosis has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
