It’s the farm bill that largely shapes food and agriculture policy, Read more [...]

ADHD - Drugs Are Not the Answer Research has shown that treating children who have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with drugs is not effective in the long-term. After three years of treatment, drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta work no better than therapy.  Long-term use of the drugs can also stunt children's growth, and the benefits of the drugs have been exaggerated.  An influential 1999 study seemed to find that medication worked better than behavioral therapy for ADHD after Read more [...]
