1. David Shepard did not stand up for Tennesseans against the Obamacare mandate.
Possibly the biggest exercise of power against the individual citizen by the federal government is the mandate in Obamacare for individuals to purchase health insurance or pay a "tax."
(2) Every person within the state has the right to purchase health insurance or to refuse to purchase health insurance.
Simple right? Free people should not be required to purchase something if they do not want to. Other than Barack Obama and the other radical leftist anti-liberty forces in Washington, who would be against this? David Shepard, that's who. When the vote came up, Shepard aligned himself with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi by voting against the Tennessee Health Freedom Act. His vote shows that he does not value individual liberty but supports extreme government mandates. In times as dire as these, any public official who will not stand up against such measures does not need to be in office. The stakes are too high.
2. David Shepard sponsored legislation that would have reduced the power of each Tennesseans' vote for President.
In a truly stunning and silly move, David Shepard sponsored legislation that would have essentially allowed citizens of other states to determine which Presidential candidate gets Tennessee's Electoral College electors. The dubious named "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote" set out to do an end-run around the Electoral College, but in the process did an end-run around Tennessee voters.
Here is the way it would have played out. States would agree to give their state's electoral votes to the candidate that received the most popular votes. By adding the electoral votes of the participating states together (and awarding the votes to the national popular vote winner), they would be able to give one candidate enough votes to win the presidency. Here's the problem: this system allows other state's citizens to essentially determine how Tennessee awards its electoral votes. Remember, this still is not a national popular vote. States are still awarding electoral college votes. States who are not in this agreement, would now have the ability to determine not only who gets their state's electoral slate but also how the compact states' votes are awarded. These citizens' votes would count several times while we would have no say in how their electors go.
A second problem is that this legislation would take what people do not like about the Electoral College (popular vote winner might not be the Electoral College winner) and put it at the state level. You could have the situation where Candidate A wins the popular vote in Tennessee but Candidate B wins the national popular vote. Candidate B would win Tennessee's electors even though this candidate lost the state's popular vote.
If David Shepard is re-elected, would he make another attempt to undermine the votes made by Tennesseans' for President?

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are legal rights established over creative or inventive ideas. IPRs are broadly divided into copyrights, trademarks, designs, patents, geographical indications (GI), plant variety protection and semiconductor layout design protection. This IPRs generally allow the right holders to exclude the unauthorized commercial use of their creations/inventions by third persons.
The rationale for the establishment of a legal framework on IPRs is that it ensures rewards and incentives for creative and inventive ideas. Several of the IPRs mentioned are relevant to the agricultural sector in that they can be used to protect goods or services produced in the agricultural sector.
This symposium aims to discuss deliberate various aspects aimed at protection, promotion of Geographical Indicators and the potential areas of threat to farmers’ sovereignty (in their profession), due to the advent of plant breeders rights will be discussed.

Hello stampers, crafters, and friends today I am going to share with you a home decor project that was shared with us at Onstage in Savannah in April. I can not remember the presenter that shared it with us, but her version was a little bit different then how I created this wonderfully fun home decor project. It features a new bundle that will be coming up in the new catalog. This has became one of my favorite bundles in the new catalog. I know that you are wondering what all is in the new catalog but I can not show you, but if you want to see it early you can always join my team and be able to add the items in the product preorder to your $99 starter kit. Here’s a look at my project for today.
Like I said this is one of my go to bundles, from the new catalog. I just love how versatile it is.
I started by stamping all my flowers and layering them up.
I found that the tombow multipurpose liquid glue worked best for this process.
Once I had all these done I cut my floral wire to size and crated a little right angle at the top.
I attached all these together using hot glue onto a 1″ circle that was sliced in the middle.
I took some blue floral stones from a big box store, and a small mason jar, and a bunch of small flowers to fill out the jar.
When you create this project people will never guess that it’s made from just a few sheets of cardstock, it looks very very nice. I was very please with the the way that this project turned out. Really and truly it doesn’t take a lot of work, and it goes together very easily. It was a matter of stamping each flower twice on matching cardstock and using a wink of stella clear brush pen to create some shadows on the petals this creates a more realistic look. Also by adding in your paper flowers into a bouquet of greenery it not only fills space but adds to the look of a fuller bouquet along with helping to stabilize the flowers in the arrangement.
While we are speaking of arranging flowers here are a few rules that I learned while working in a floral shop.
Your flowers should only be one and half the size of the vessel that you are placing them in.
You have three sections of an arrangement, Heaven, earth, and bellow.
You have triangles in the arrangement. You start with three flowers in a visual triangle and add to that.

Robin Gibb, one of the three singing brothers of the Bee Gees, the long-running Anglo-Australian pop group whose chirping falsettos and hook-laden disco hits like “Jive Talkin’ ” and “You Should Be Dancing” shot them to worldwide fame in the 1970s, died on Sunday in London. He was 62 and lived in Thame, Oxfordshire, England.
The cause was complications of cancer and intestinal surgery, his family said in a statement.
Mr. Gibb had been hospitalized for intestinal problems several times in the last two years. Cancer had spread from his colon to his liver, and in the weeks before his death he had pneumonia and for a while was in a coma.
Mr. Gibb was the second Bee Gee and third Gibb brother to die. His fraternal twin and fellow Bee Gee, Maurice Gibb, died of complications of a twisted intestine in 2003 at 53. The youngest brother, Andy, who had a successful solo career, was 30 when he died of heart failure, in 1988.
With brilliant smiles, polished funk and adenoidal close harmonies, the Bee Gees — Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb — were disco’s ambassadors to Middle America in the 1970s, embodying the peacocked look of the time in their open-chested leisure suits and gold medallions.
They sold well over 100 million albums and had six consecutive No. 1 singles from 1977 to 1979. They were also inextricably tied to the disco era’s defining movie, “Saturday Night Fever,” a showcase for their music that included the hit “Stayin’ Alive,” its propulsive beat in step with the strut of the film’s star, John Travolta.
Barry, the oldest brother, was the dominant Bee Gee for most of the group’s existence. But the lead singer for many of the early hits was Robin, whose breaking voice, gaunt frame and gloomy eyes were well suited to convey adolescent fragility. “I Started a Joke” (with the second line, “Which started the whole world crying”), “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You,” “Massachusetts” and other heavy-hearted songs brought the Bee Gees to the top of the charts as one of the British Invasion’s most musically conservative groups.
Robin Hugh Gibb and his twin, Maurice, were born on Dec. 22, 1949, on the Isle of Man, a British dependency in the Irish Sea. (Barry was born there in 1946.) The boys largely grew up in Manchester, England, where the family lived on the edge of poverty. Their father, Hugh, a drummer and bandleader, encouraged his sons to sing. Their mother, Barbara, was also a singer.
According to Bee Gees lore, the boys’ first performance was sometime in the mid-1950s, and unplanned. They had been scheduled to perform as a lip-synching act at a movie theater in Manchester when the record broke, forcing them to sing for real.
The family moved to Australia in 1958, and before long the brothers, performing as the Bee Gees — for Brothers Gibb — began scoring local hits and appearing on television. They left for London in early 1967 and within weeks had signed with Robert Stigwood, the impresario who guided them in their peak years.
The band’s first single in Britain, “New York Mining Disaster 1941,” was released in April 1967 and reached the Top 20.
But in private Robin was far from dull. He and his wife, Dwina Murphy, who survives him, lived in a 12th-century former monastery in Oxfordshire that he had restored and filled with statues of Buddha and suits of armor. In Miami, his mansion was open to celebrities and politicians like Tony Blair.
Robin briefly left the group in 1969 and tried out a solo career. After he rejoined his brothers, they scored their first No. 1 in the United States with “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” in 1971. But with harder rock taking over, the Bee Gees’ popularity ebbed, reaching bottom in 1974 with a series of supper-club gigs in England to pay off tax debts.
At that point their label, Atlantic, sent the brothers to Miami for musical experimentation. There, with the 1975 album “Main Course,” they reinvented the Bee Gees’ sound with Latin and funk rhythms, electronic keyboards and vocals that owed a debt to Philadelphia soul. It brought the band its first hits in years: “Nights on Broadway” and “Jive Talkin’,” which went to No. 1.
For many listeners, the Gibbs were the face of disco. Even “Sesame Street” got caught up in the trend, with Robin singing on the disco-themed album “Sesame Street Fever.” It went gold.
The Bee Gees’ 1979 album, “Spirits Having Flown,” produced three more No. 1 singles, “Too Much Heaven,” “Tragedy” and “Love You Inside Out.” Then, in 1980, the band filed a $200 million lawsuit against Mr. Stigwood, saying he had swindled them out of royalties. Mr. Stigwood countersued for defamation and breach of contract. They settled out of court and publicly reconciled.
In the ’80s the band’s popularity waned in the United States but remained strong abroad. Robin released three solo albums, with limited success. The Bee Gees returned with some moderate hits in the late 1990s and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. With his brothers, Mr. Gibb won six Grammys.
In addition to his wife and his brother Barry, Robin Gibb is survived by his sons, Spencer and Robin-John, known as R J; his daughters, Melissa and Snow; a sister, Lesley; and his mother. An earlier marriage, to Molly Hullis, ended in divorce.
Mr. Gibb had recently been working on a classical piece, “The Titanic Requiem,” with Robin-John. It had its premiere in London on April 10, played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but Robin was too ill to attend.
Despite the Bee Gees’ close association with disco, the Gibb brothers had long insisted that they had no stake in the genre. They had simply written songs that suited their voices and caught their fancy, they said.

“Shingles is an extremely painful condition that can result in a chronic pain syndrome called postherpetic neuralgia. If you think you may have shingles it is important to seek help. Antiviral medication given in the first few days can reduce the risk of neuralgia. Don’t wait if you have symptoms of shingles- make an appointment right away and come in to see me”.
Shingles is a reactivation of the same virus that causes chickenpox (varicella zoster virus). Once you have had chickenpox, the virus goes dormant, hiding in the nerve tissue surrounding your brain and spinal cord. Many years later, the virus can reactivate, causing the condition known as shingles. Although shingles is more common after age 60, people of any age can get shingles if they have had chickenpox. The condition is very common, affecting almost 1/3 of the population at some point in their lives. You should know that although shingles is caused by a type of herpes virus, it is not the same herpes virus that causes genital herpes, the sexually transmitted infection.
Pain is often the first symptom of shingles and may occur before the rash makes its appearance. The pain is often described as burning in nature. Skin in the affected area may be hypersensitive, so that even clothing rubbing against the area will be painful. The pain may precede the rash by several days to a week.
When the rash appears, it will look like tiny blisters on top of a reddened base. New blisters may continue to form for up to 5 days. The rash follows a dermatome (the path of an individual nerve as it comes out of the spinal cord), creating a band-like pattern. The rash usually occurs on only one side of the spinal cord. Rarely, more than one nerve will be affected, but usually a single nerve is affected.
The blisters eventually rupture and they will ooze and crust before they heal, much like chickenpox. The condition may last 3 to 4 weeks from the beginning symptoms until resolution of the rash.
Yes, but not in the way you might think! People who have shingles can pass the virus on to individuals who have never had chickenpox, or who have never been vaccinated for chickenpox, and these unlucky people will get chickenpox, not shingles. They may develop shingles at a later time, but they won’t get shingles from contact with someone who has it.
Yes. Although most people with shingles recover completely, complications sometimes occur. Shingles may affect the eye when nerves of the face are involved. This can be very serious and may lead to vision loss. Hearing can also be affected, as can the facial nerves, leading to facial paralysis on the affected side.
The most dreaded (and most common) complication of shingles is postherpetic neuralgia, in which the pain of shingles lingers long after the rash has subsided. The pain can be severe and debilitating. This is why it is important to seek help immediately if you suspect you may have shingles, as treatment with antiviral medications in the first 72 hours of symptoms may reduce the risk of this devastating complication.
Yes. There is a vaccine for adults over the age of 50 who have had chickenpox. The vaccine has been found to reduce the occurrence of shingles and significantly reduces symptoms, including the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia. If you get the vaccine and still develop shingles, you will likely have a much less severe case.
What can I expect when I come in to see you?
If you come in to see me with symptoms of shingles, I will first need to know a little about your past medical history. I will also want to know what medications you are taking and if you have any allergies to medications. I will want to know if you have any medical conditions that affect your immune system (and thus your ability to fight off infection).
I will ask you when your symptoms started. If you have pain, where is the pain located and when did it start? Does the pain come and go? What is the character of the pain? Is it sharp, stabbing, dull, aching or something else? Is there anything that makes the pain better or worse?
If you have a rash, I will need to examine your rash. I will look for the tell-tale blisters along a nerve distribution, which is characteristic of shingles.
Usually your symptoms, along with the characteristic appearance of your rash, is enough to make the diagnosis. If I believe that you have shingles and it has been less than 72 hours since your symptoms started, I will prescribe an antiviral medication. The medication will lessen the severity of your symptoms and hopefully shorten the duration of symptoms. If you have shingles on your face that may affect your eye, I may send you to an eye specialist.
If you have symptoms of shingles, you should make an appointment to see me immediately. Diagnosing and treating shingles as soon as symptoms start is the best way to limit the symptoms of this painful condition.

St. Charles, of the noble family Borromeo, was born on October 2, 1538 in the castle of Arona at Lake Majiore in Italy. He received the clerical tonsure at 12, as soon as his age would allow. He studied at Milan and later at the University of Pavia, where he received his doctorate in civil and canon law in 1559.
In the same year, his uncle, the Cardinal de Medici, was elected Pope under the title of Pius IV. In 1560, Pope Pius IV appointed St. Charles, then 22, cardinal and archbishop of Milan.
His relief mesures in Milan saved many lives during the plague of 1576-78.
St. Charles died on November 3 in Milan at the age of 47. He was cannonized in 1610. His feast day is November 4.
Preserve thy Church, O Lord, under the continual protection of thy glorious Confessor and Bishop, St. Charles, that as he was eminent for the discharge of his pastoral duties, so his prayers may make us zealous in the love of Thy holy name: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
You have generously made known to human beings the mysteries of Your life through Jesus Christ Your Son in the Holy Spirit. Enlighten my mind to know these mysteries which Your Church treasures and teaches.

The communication campaign launched by the European Parliament “is the answer to a task and an institutional duty: in fact it consists in making citizens aware of the importance of the May elections, of their democratic value, along with the political consequences they entail. Furthermore, the intent is to allow European citizens to learn about the achievements of the European Parliament and of the EU as a whole, adopted for the benefit of its citizens.” Interviewed by SIR, Jaume Duch, (born in Spain), spokesperson and Director General of Communication of the European Parliament illustrated the goals of the information campaign and the initiatives to persuade 400 million citizens of 27 Member Countries to vote in the European elections of May 23-26. The number of MEPs to be elected will be 705, and there are strong reasons to believe that the election campaign will be marked by fiery speeches. Europe is at a crossroads and citizens are called to chose between political projects that in some cases present contrasting political programs, with Europeanists – mindful of the need for EU reforms – on the one side and Eurosceptics on the other.
Unlike previous elections, this time it appears that European elections will be the focus of major public attention. Could this be the result of the controversies between nationalists and EU supporters?
I agree with the fact that the general public shows growing interest for the May vote. Several national leaders, some of whom with Government roles, are openly debating their respective visions of Europe. This could actually garner further public attention on the part of citizenry. But they should be aware that not all citizens are fully informed on the activities and functions of the European Union, its institutions and its achievements.
For this reason the intention is to spread information on the concrete results achieved so far as well as EU policies’ “closeness” to citizens, along with their direct bearing on people’s lives, on the life of families, enterprises and throughout European regions.
In particular, in this election campaign we wish to transmit the idea that the decisions of the European Parliament that we elect every five years with universal suffrage have a clear, direct, positive impact on the life of us all. Voting the candidates to be elected in the European Parliament enables every citizen to contribute to orient the future of the Union through the democratic process.
Exactly. We are obviously not responsible for individual votes. Our task is to provide useful, balanced information for a pondered, conscious decision. Naturally the Parliament campaign will accompany the individual campaigns carried out by political players– parties, candidates in each Member Country. Equally important will be the role of news media – a much greater role compared to the past – and of social networks. Communication will be carried out on a wide range of informative platforms. This time there is a further concern related to misinformation and fake news – a problem that should not be underestimated.
The “Common European home” has taken on major relevance in social, political and economic life. What are the chances that political forces which oppose EU integration may prevail?
I don’t think that the historic political process is likely to be questioned. Indeed, we are confronted with different political visions, but those who want to end the Community experience are very few. Even the so-called nationalistic or populist parties have clearly stated that they want to change or reform the EU. They don’t want to leave the EU.
There are calls for a “different” Europe, and this is legitimate. However, there are still four months to go before the elections, and in today’s politics that’s a very long time. Many new things could happen in the meantime.
But the sovereignist perspective is gaining grounds in present mental attitudes.
In my opinion, weakening the EU means weakening the possibility of seeking joint solutions to common problems that challenge all European Countries, ranging from economy to security, from the migratory issue to those linked to the environment and climate change. Some challenges can be met by acting in unison.

Don’t be intimidated by this Keto garlic rosemary lamb chops recipe. It may look professional, but you will nail it on your first try.
I’m not sure why, but lamb chops seem to scare people off. It’s not the taste – it’s a misconception that lamb chops aren’t for amateurs.
If you’ve considered lamb in the past but balked at making the purchase, you’re not alone.
But I have to tell you it is possible to prepare mouthwatering lamb chops without investing in culinary school.
All good recipes begin to take shape at the store, and this is no exception. Ordinarily, I encourage people to purchase grass-fed meat if they can find it and afford it.
You’re welcome to do the same with lamb, although I will caution you that lamb that has been grass-fed may have a stronger flavor than its grain-fed counterparts.
Aim for lamb that is light red with even fat. The color of the lamb hints at its age. Young lamb will be light pink, while older lamb will be closer to red.
Depending on where you source your meat, you might have a conversation with the farmer or butcher. They can often prevent you from going in the wrong direction and picking the lamb for the job.
If you’re interested in making this recipe but are on a budget, some of the large warehouse shopping clubs carry lamb. That might score you some decent lamb without breaking the bank.
Preparing lamb isn’t all that different from preparing other kinds of meat. I like to bring the lamb to room temperature before cooking.
You can pull your lamb out of the fridge to warm up while you prepare the special artisan butter that elevates these chops to restaurant quality.
I used ghee (clarified butter), rosemary, and garlic, and it is so lovely in this dish.
Grill the chops on medium-high heat until your fat crisps, then top with the fancy ghee. Melt the ghee over the chops in the oven, and then let your meat rest before serving.
Your chops will look great and taste amazing. This is a recipe that gets you four-star chef status in your own home!
Grilling is a staple in most Keto households. And there are probably a lot more recipes that work for your diet than you realize.
Discover more recipes like these Keto garlic rosemary lamb chops on this page. You’ll get the dos and don’ts of Keto grilling and lots of new recipes to enjoy.
Flavored ghee adds an extra boost to these delicious lamb chops.
In a small bowl, add the softened ghee, rosemary, and garlic. Mash everything together.
Pour the flavored ghee onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll into a cylinder shape, rolling up the ends to secure. Place in the fridge until firm again.
Lightly season the lamb chops with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Cook on a grill until the fat crisps up or bake in a preheated oven (430°F / 220°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the ghee, unwrap, and slice into small discs. Put a disc on top of each chop, placing them in the oven for a minute to gently melt over the warm chops.

"The central issue in this debate is the belief in the existence of a Supreme Being. Julian Huxley, grandfather of Thomas Huxley and one of the foremost evolutionists of his day, was an unabashed atheist. He pointed out in 1959 that Darwin's real achievement was to 'remove the whole idea of God as the Creator of organisms from the spear of rational discussion' (Tax and Callender 1960, 3:45) The belief in a Supreme Being may at once be recognized as the one essential characteristic of a theistic religion. It is perhaps surprising , however, to find that the belief in a nonexistence of a Supreme Being is also considered to be a (nontheistic) religion. Thus, atheism was formally declared to be a religion by the United States Supreme Court in 1961, together with Buddhism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism, and others that do not teach a belief in the existence of God (Bird 1979). The Atheist Church of America and the American Ethical Union, for example, are both bona fide tax-exempt religious organizations."
I am preaching regarding a YouTube site entitled "Top 80 Best Short Atheist Quotes About Atheism and Religion" or "Best Short Atheist Quotes - Atheism & Religion" . I guess this is the best they have based on their words. Oh well! I try to deal with as many as I can in 30 minutes of my program. SO here it goes. By the way, there aren't any atheists.

Did you know? Dental disease, the most common disease of dogs and cats over 3 years old, is more than a cosmetic issue; it can be painful, affect the animal’s behavior and appetite, and has been linked to diseases of the heart and kidneys.
We provide dental cleanings under general anesthesia, with pre-anesthetic blood work, extra supplemental heat, and IV fluids to make the procedure as safe as possible for all of our dental patients. During a dental procedure, we perform a more thorough oral exam than is permitted in an awake dog or cat, including checking all teeth for defects such as fractures, pockets of bone loss, and infection. Then we scale the teeth above and below the gum line, take digital dental radiographs to make decisions regarding extractions, and polish the tooth surface to eliminate any scratches on the enamel. If any tooth extractions or oral mass biopsies are needed, we can perform them during the same procedure.

Minister of Interior, retired Lt.-Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, Tuesday in Abuja held a close-door meeting with heads of internal security agencies.
He said the meeting was a follow up to a meeting with state governors two weeks ago over the violent conflicts between farmers and herders in Benue and other places.
“One of the issues that came up in the communiqué was the issue of the proliferation of small arms and drug trafficking and abuse.
“We also found out that these two issues are triggers to the violence taking place in this country.
“Without the firearms and drugs, those who partake in violence would not have the courage to carry out the kind of violence taking place in this country,” he said.
“As a follow up, I called for this meeting so that we can examine and analyse the situation to see how best we can deal with the situation”, NAN quoted him as saying.
Quoting the UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament, Dambazau noted that there were approximately 500 million assorted firearms in West Africa and out of this figure, 350 million (representing 70 per cent) are in Nigeria.
He said a large consignment of weapons had been smuggled from North Africa (in particular Libya) as a consequence of the crises in that country.
“The situation is worsened by the insurgency in the North-east because of the supply of weapons to the insurgents and terrorists there.
“Likewise the supply of weapon to the militants in the Niger Delta through exchange of stolen crude oil and supply by politicians to deal with their opponents.
“It is very necessary for us to secure our country and of course a more challenging aspect of that which facilitate the smuggling of weapons, is our porous borders and this is a major challenge to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) and Nigeria Custom Service in particular.” he said.
The minister further inisisted said the farmers and herders’ conflicts, kidnappings, ethno-religious crises, terrorism, armed robbery, cultism and militancy all had something to do with weapons and drugs.
The meeting had in attendance representatives of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Nigeria Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Directorate of State Services (DSS), National Intelligence Agency (NIA), Nigerian Customs Service (NCS).

Strategic Resource Group Managing Director Burt Flickinger on reports Amazon is planning to launch grocery store business very different from Whole Foods.
Amazon, which owns the upscale Whole Foods Market grocery stores, plans to launch a distinct grocery-store chain that will offer less-expensive items, according to a report.
The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, said Amazon is planning to open dozens of grocery stores in several major U.S. cities over the next few years.
The as-yet-unnamed chain will be distinct from the company's upscale, health-oriented Whole Foods Market brand, which it acquired in 2017 for $13.7 billion.
The first store of the new chain is reportedly set to open in Los Angeles as early as the end of the year. There also are plans to open two other locations in early 2020.
Shortly after news of the initiative became public, Amazon shares rose but those of rival grocers like Kroger, Walmart and Sprouts Farmers Markets, fell.
Amazon is eyeing shopping centers in San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia as possible locations. The e-commerce giant is also exploring acquisitions of regional grocery chains to help launch the project.
The sources told the Wall Street Journal that the new locations aren't meant to compete with Whole Foods but instead offer "a wider variety of products" than what the healthy grocer currently has on its shelves. Since launching in the 1980s, Whole Foods has been adamant about not selling products with artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
Big brands such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi are not sold at any of its locations. Over the years, however, Whole Foods has added brands such as Honey-Nut Cheerios and Michelob beer to its shelves.
An Amazon spokesperson told FOX Business that it "doesn’t comment on rumors or speculation."
