Please, I ask you to consider helping out a worthy cause... the National Parkinson Foundation. I have had the disease for nearly 12 years and have been embarked on a mission to help the NPF @parkinsondotorg raise money for their research. To that end, I've been offering some products from which 100% of my profits go to the NPF. So, unless I'm violating some sort of rule, might I ask you to take a peek?

Bavaria, in particular, is home to the oldest (non-religious) legal standard of food production still in force: The legendary Bavarian Purity Law of 1516, known in German as the Reinheitsgebot.
The Duke of Beers
The short version of this law, which was enacted on April 23, 1516 by Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV (a.k.a. William IV), is that beer may contain only three ingredients: barley, hops, and water. Ostensibly, this makes the law one of the oldest “consumer protection” regulations, instilling confidence in purchasers that the beer they get will contain no questionable grains or additives.
