Interesting things I read yesterday.

While reading a rather biased book about how corporate advertising affects the American diet, I came across something appalling. The American Diabetes Association gets a large part of it's funding from Cadbury-Schweppes. That strikes a sour chord with me. A diabetes causing company, funding research about what causes diabetes.

Perhaps I'm hopelessly naive, but it seems to me that SCIENCE should be concerned with truth, not profit. I'd rather not have to lump corrupt scientists in with the politicians.

On a completely different subject, I finished reading my second Jim Butcher book last night. Thank you Trevor, for pointing me in the direction of another good author. It was actually the third in the series, due to the library not having the second one. I guess I'll have to buy it if I want to read it. After glancing at my overfilled shelves, I think I need to buy another bookcases first. I don't know if my bookcases can handle the strain of me starting another collection.
