Speier said Schwarzenegger was wrong in saying her legislation could have regulated normal vitamins or protein powders because it did not define supplements specifically enough.
"I don't think he ever read the bill," Speier said.
In pushing her bills, Speier has cited numerous ill health effects suffered by minors who have used the supplements, including liver disease, heart problems and acne outbreaks.
Schwarzenegger said he wants to be sure the types of supplements he considers beneficial are not banned. He said he believes strongly in the benefits of nutritional supplements and vowed not to sign any bill that attempts to regulate them too strictly.
The government knows better what's best for us. We are just ignorant zombies and smart people like Speier have to tell us what vitamins we are allowed to take.

There is actually some stone left unturned for the states to meddle with? Really?
facts are facts.. :)
Is a governor who owns real estate not allowed to vote on real estate regulations?
If he owns stock, is he not allowed to vote on stock regulations?
Its a non-issue.
Gubs don;t vote, they sign and veto,, and posture.
... and it's a dead issue now, but keep trying. :)
Right. Next it will be argued that a governor has a conflict of interest when a bill defines rules for carbon based life forms, if he has a personal relationship with any carbon based lifeforms.
Agred.
But you get my point.
I hear what you offer as well.
The question is one of appearance of impropriety, more so, as this one developed.
Signing the contract 2 days before being sworn in as Gub, then making no announcement which for aRnie is odd as he loves to hype the heck out of everything, and then having it finally divulged thru SEC process,, ehhh, I guess no rules were broken, maybe technically, however , see the Gub's own statement.
Have a good one. I need to go get wet.
He says a lot when he speaks, and then has a hard time living up to his own utterances and ends up hoisted on his own pittard.
The "announcement" was made months ago in Muscle and Fitness.
He has been an editor of Joe Weider's M&F for many, many years.
I am glad that the government watchdogs finally read the report which M&F readers knew months ago.
They had a change of ownership and he signed a new contract 2 days before he was sworn in.
I see that Arnold has an advanced degree in nutrition and is qualified to make such distinctions for everybody.
Every politician since Nixon has understood that you put your money into a blind trust and accept the paycheck as your sole source of income. That's just how it is in matters involving public trust.
That Arnold think's he's something different just shows how stupid and arrogant he really is.
Not that I think Arnold should be conflicted while in office, but did he not turn down the Governor's salary?
He did, but from what I can tell it was his typical grandstanding. He did it in the name of cutting unnecessary spending, but at the same time his budget has increased the growth in spending by 50%.
Well, I would not expect him to be a genuine conservative. He is the epitome of the moderate republican, one day California will revitalize their conservative side and kick out most of the legislature.
As far as cutting spending, I believe you. Arnie simply let the economy grow California out of bankruptcy, (unless you are still in bankruptcy). He did about as much as I expected, (better than Davis) and maybe he will start the process of breaking the unions stranglehold over the state. (And I am a former teacher, but the union has to go.)
(your arnold quote) that's why arnold is answering the ap's questions! (/s)
democrats need to be asked more questions in public.
