There has been an effort to bring all vitamins under the FDA’s control. It’s been a bone of contention for at least twenty years that I know of.

There is a very strong lobby on this issue, the public. Many folks are tied to vitamins and food supplements. They really go ballistic when the government acts as if it wants to take over.

Still, I think you’ve made the right choice, keeping a little stock ahead. I don’t blame you.

These folks in Washington don’t listen to anyone these days. We saw that driven home this last weekend.

They not only don’t listen to us, they laugh about our input. The voters who keep sending Murtha and others like him back year after year are as big a problem as the people in those offices.

They already are. This was in response to a drug company petition, to reclassify one form.
