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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
