Welcome,  I’m Miss Maggie, the owner and creator of the Hillbilly Housewife. The focus here is on low-cost, home-cooking from scratch.  The recipes are all tested in a real kitchen with hungry children, stalking cats, begging puppies and a playful husband underfoot.  The ingredients are affordable and readily available in most areas.

Red Cross Sued Over Its Red Cross

jjredcross.jpgJ&J, one of the largest drug makers in the world has sued the Red Cross over its use of one of the most famous symbols in the world – the red cross.

The problem is that the Red Cross is not the only organization using this symbol. The red cross also appears on J&J’s first-aid kits and bandages.

In the suit, J&J asked the court to force the Red Cross to have “all licensed products with the red-cross emblem destroyed and to permanently enjoin all sales of products bearing the emblem on first-aid, safety-preparedness and related products.”

The Red Cross CEO, Mark Everson, called the action “bizarre” and “obscene.”
