Vitasea Fabric Controversy
In November 2007 The New York Times reported that it had commissioned laboratory tests that failed to find significant differences in mineral levels between cotton T-shirts and the fabric Vitasea, used by Lululemon in some of its clothing lines. Following the publication of the Times article, Lululemon commissioned a rush laboratory test that it claimed confirmed the seaweed content of its Vitasea line. Lululemon was subsequently forced to remove all health claims from its seaweed-based products marketed in Canada, following a demand from the Competition Bureau of Canada.

“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
