Q1: Have you ever asked the difference between a "Generic" drug and its "Label" form?
Don't they both anounce 250 mg of "Active Ingredient" in a 10-g pill? Think about that.
Q2: Let me pose a nother question: Why is it that a generic from USA is likely to be safer than that from some Third-World country? This last question is easier to answer; there are Laws and Regulations, and and Enforcement Mechanisms in the United States.

Genetically-Engineered Beef!
Guests
The other day I heard that they have approved or are about to approved genetically engineered beef. Why on earh would someone want such meat or such a cow? Diseases free cow; is that the reason? Must I be told what other animal has donated genes to my beef?
How will this move affect exports to Europe with stiffer food safety standards? For a Nation that is divided on the issue of stem-cell research, this move must raise eyebrows.
When I used to be a cowboy, the best way to get good calves was to borrow a neighbor's bull of the desired qualities. Maybe I am too old and irrelevantly educated, but can't the same objective of having calves with the right qaulities be attained by the good old hybridization? Or is that too slow for a hungry planet?

Fuel Efficiency Dilema
Hi you engineers out there:
How Efficient can a Car be in using gasoline?
What would the temperature of the engine be when all gasoline is reacted with oxygen in air in every engine cycle for an hour to produce only water and CO2?
What would be the temperature of the engine?
How much more Nitric oxides would result at such an eleveated temperature?
How much more of these gases would escape the catalytic converters into the atmosphere as nitic acid?
Can't we sacrifice the weight of the car (go for smaller, composite material-based cars) as a measure to lower fuel consumption?
