Yup. There&#8217;s your very first clue. The website—usually chock-full of bright branding colors (Fosamax green and yellow, the colors of grass, trees and sunshine&#8230;ahhh) and salt-of-the-earth salt-and-pepper haired folks enjoying precious moments with the grandkids or out there gardening—all smiles because they&#8217;re taking Fosamax and feelin&#8217; fine. No osteoporosis worries there.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last year or so, there&#8217;s been some discussion in the media about &#8220;preemption.&#8221; So, I thought I&#8217;d take this opportunity to explain preemption and why it&#8217;s important (specifically, why and how it affects you). 
In legal-speak, preemption is based on the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution. That clause states that some matters are [...]]]></description>

And, that decision was made (insert raised eyebrow here) for &#8220;business reasons&#8221;—not for any safety issues.
