Leigh, why not be less contentious? This shows to many of us middle of the
roaders, that it is you who seem to lack basic information on the feeding of
hormones.

Are you actually saying that hormones are being fed to poultry in the U.S.?

Have you honestly researched this and found it to be true?

If so, how about providing some evidence of the facts?

I am not sure that one has to go to law school to understand corporate
structure. A corporation is a legal entity as you say, that is equivalent in
some (not all) respects to a human being. This is done to insure continuity
in case of the owners' death(s), and makes for a much more stable and long
term business structure. There are advantages and disadvantages in terms of
liablity issues for individuals (not a reduction of liability of the
business itself) and there are some tax treatments are somewhat negative
compared to a sole proprietorship or partnership. Even if we did not have
corporations, we would have to have some similar system in place for larger
entities to protect workers and investors.

Sincerely,

Rick Williams
