I herby submit to the general population, the suggestion that any food product advertised as a specific type of food, must actually contain 51% of the type of food advertised, or put the name in quotes.
For example, no more Kraft Mac & Cheese. Either print Mac & Dairy Product Solids, Whey, Cheese Cultures and Disodium Phosphate or just label it as

Brazil (which often isn't considered to be a first world nation for whatever reason) made headlines briefly this summer when they announced that the nation had become energy independent. Most of their cars now run on some kind of ethanol or biodiesel combination. And, as a nation, they can meet that demand.

As for cops... they shot my uncle for petty theft. They beat another uncle and broke his neck after they found him wedged under a seat after a car accident with a broken neck. A year ago, a police officer saw me leaving a parking lot of an abandoned building, he stopped me and asked to search my car. When I said no, he gave me a ticket for speeding. When I got into a very minor car accident last summer, the police officer who came to the scene asked me, very persistently if I had "crossed the street over there and gone into the woods" which didn't make sense to me at the time because I hadn't. But thinking now about the way he was questioning me, the only thing that makes sense to me was that he was trying to imply I had some kind of contraband to hide. And finally, when my van got stolen... from the parking lot behind my house in broad daylight, the police told me, "Yeah, well this happens a lot around here, you really shouldn't be living here." Except- it wasn't a bad neighbourhood, and I was born there and lived four blocks from that apartment until I was six years old.

I can't think of a single positive experience I've had with a police officer. As far as I'm concerned, they're state funded bullies out to defend the bourgeois from the impoverished.
