| Claims of homeopathy's efficacy beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence |
And that's the scientific weight at 30X. |

Yeah. I stole that phrase straight from Wikipedia. |

Ah, yes. But ever since I was an adult, I have eaten real butter.
I never even knew what dairy butter was until I attended a summer camp. What my family called "butter" was oleomargarine. In the early days, this margarine came lard-white in a cellophane bag, with a small capsule of yellow food coloring. You'd pinch the capsule to release the dye, then mash the bag until the whole mass was yellow. (I believe they had to sell it that way at first due to dairy lobby pressure.)
I have yet to taste margarine that has the creamy flavor and texture of butter. I don't eat enough of it to matter, but I insist on the real thing. |

Hey, I remember that stuff! As I recall, they did indeed have to sell it like that, by law.
