Does anyone know the name of the company that is making the DHA here in this
country?  I think I heard it at the LLL conference but I can't remember.
 Please send me the name privately on email so I can have my broker look into
it further.  One can request information from the companies shareholder
relation department and obtain a copy of an SEC required document called a
10-K and also most will also send a copy of their last annual report.

BF advocates might feel that it is improper to buy stock in these companies
and perhaps it is, but let me tell you how I approach this with tobacco
companies.  I bought three shares of P----- M----- stock just so I could
receive a copy of their glitzy annual report telling how good they are at
selling death.  This also gives me the right as a shareholder to vote on the
stockholder proposals that other tobacco controll advocates present to the
annual shareholders meeting.  Of course these are almost always voted down
because the board of directors own millions of shares, BUT the companies have
to provide the proposals with a forum and if they receive a certain per cent
of votes, they are entitled to be brought up again the following year.

This approach kind of directly opposite of the N------ boycot, but you can
still do both if you are so inclined.  Buy the stock so you can raise a
stink, but don't buy the product because you think it stinks. :)

I think it was it Confucious or Chen ZHu or sombebody else who said,"To
defeat your enemy you have to know him."

So if anybody knows the company that makes DHA let me know so I can
*infiltrate* the ranks.
