Cloward–Piven strategy The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some.

Over 100 years ago, a man by the name of W.H. Wiley got the Pure Food and Drug Law passed. It was an effort on his part to clean up the American food system which he believed to be over abundant in sugar and other food additives which were and are detrimental to our health. This "sports" drink would never have passed muster if the pure food and drug law had stuck and not been over turned by the Coca Cola industry. I believe Mr Wiley was right-on in his fight to keep food free of harmful ingredients. As a critical care nurse, there is enough accidents and trauma in this world to keep nurses and docs busy, we don't need our food contributing to our ill health!
