So this is ironic but google adsense placed an ad for HSUS at the bottom of your page. I found it funny after reading this post that an ad directly below it popped up in the promotion of banning individual maternity pens for hogs.

I love your blog! Please title your posts that attract anti-science communities. The bullshit is so deep in public media concerning genetic engineering and farming….I can't even go to a farmer's market anymore because they are now propaganda markets. I had a fella telling me that a diet of his grower/employer's organic products would cure cancer and even ALS! Can we get some punishment for people who dare to make such claims?? Argh! Talk about selling lies for profit!
