A fast-growing, quirky suburb of Des Moines, Iowa.

If Iowa's residents were asked what local city they most loathed, there is strong reason to believe that "West Des Moines" would be the most popular answer. Words often used to describe the city are "wealthy", "trendy", "arrogant", and "modern".

As of 2007, West Des Moines' city council is the highest paid in the nation for a city its size (it is followed closely by Albany, the capitol of New York), but when one examines the city's recent growth it becomes apparent why this is so. The city has demonstrated jaw-dropping growth over the past 5 years, constructing what is currently the largest shopping mall in Iowa, the national headquarters for Wells Fargo Bank, and a plethora of smaller businesses also located near the aforementioned mall within this time period.

Valley High School of West Des Moines has in recent years dominated high school sports and academic competitions, much to the ire of native residents throughout the rest of the state, whose local high school teams routinely face unrelenting punishment from "those damned Valley Kids". In 2006 Valley High School's football team was ranked as one of the top 3 in the nation (state champions in Iowa), and in the same year Valley High School's mock trial team won their national championship. The debate team is also nationally renowned as well as the marching band and orchestra (which earned recognition from the Grammy Association in 2002).

des
DES abbreviation for diethylstilbestrol is a drug, a synthetic estrogen that was developed and prescribed to supplement a woman's natural estrogen production. It was given to "help" women who tended to have miscarriages and premature deliveries to hold onto their pregnancies.

Even though it was found to have absolutely no influence on holding onto pregnancies, (and just as many miscarriages continued to occur while on this medicine) it was still prescribed from 1938-1971 to pregnant women.

This heinous crime legally took place not only under the guise of benefitting women whose pregnancies tend to miscarry, BUT it was given out like vitamins in routine pregnancies (ie not pregnancies even at risk, but normal healthy pregnancies).

DES was, never banned and was continued to be prescribed in the U.S. as well as other countries beyond 1971. In European countries it continued to be prescribed up until 1994 in some third world countries.

Pharmacuetical companies not wanting to lose out on millions made from this drug, began to convince Farms to feed this cure all hormone Diethylstilbestrol to their Livestock, to Fatten their Cattle and chickens and increase sales.

After more than 30 years of research it is well known that DES is a teratogen that causes malformations in an embyo or fetus.

It was never tested before it was put on the market. Woman were told they were doing a good thing for their babies.

Women who took DES are at risk for Breast and other...
