Haven't seen the movie yet...does he hit on the Universities getting public funds for research and then selling the results privately?

Don't laugh, but Michael Chrichton's latest novel really gives a revealing look at the industry in story form. I think it's called "Next".It's really his take on the genetic thing, but whilst doing that he's revealing research techniques which overlap the whole Pharma karma thing.

Bee-I like fish-does that count? :)
You said:I'm not so sure as many of our health problems are self-caused as we are led to believe. There's a certain joy governments and health pundits seem to take in accusing us of sinning against our bodies, while ignoring the stew of chemicals, hormones, bad water, bad air, and nutrient poor vegetation they thrust in our direction. I know my grandparents/uncles/aunts ate far more and far fattier than I or my friends do, and although they worked hard, I've worked as physically hard myself. A few of them were fat, most were thin: why? Many of them smoked or chewed tobacco, none had lung cancer, except the ones who worked in coal mines; why? "

I think that kinda proves my point. Should we just suck up everything they sell us?
