A to Z of what's right with America
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) Ah, America. Land of the free. Home of the brave. Baseball and apple pie. It's all so irresistibly attractive that it's begging for a list of 26 awesome things about America.
So I asked the NaturalNews Facebook team to come up with an A-to-Z list of what's right with America. You'll find the complete list below.
In case you're feeling more pessimistic, by the way, we've also published an A-to-Z of what's wrong with America. You can find that list at: http://www.naturalnews.com/027493_America_A-...
A to Z of what's right with America - The list
A is for Alternative medicine - Although the Associated Press hasn't figured it out yet, alternative medicine is cheaper, safer and more effective than pharmaceuticals and surgery.
B is for Breastfeeding - Because the best milk is mother's milk.
C is for the Constitution - Without it, this website wouldn't even exist and free speech would be stifled.
