To dispute these facts is to deny any role that science plays in research of the effects of chemicals on the human body.

For those in the horse meat eating countries, read closely, for this will tell you why you are not feeling well at all.

Pro-Horse/Anti-Slaughter Testimony – Texas Senate Committee
