I've known it about the FDA for a REALLY long time. People are only even now waking up to the fact that it's not just pharmaceuticals but food as well. You think the typical "foods" and food additives people eat are safe because they've been "approved" by the FDA? Yeah, keep thinking that. Let me know how it goes for you.

In the meantime, farms that provide *real* food (like raw milk - you know, the stuff our ancestors drank without problem for thousands of years) are being raided by the feds.
If you really wanna see how much the FDA cares about you and your health, go compare the labels on a "food" product (like breakfast cereal) between what is sold in the U.S. and the same product as sold in Europe. Have a shovel ready to help you pick your jaw up off the ground.
Spent 1 yr in Italy and 3 in Switzerland, and 14 yrs traveling far and wide in Europe, South America, Africa, Mediterranean islands, etc. The difference in food, whether fresh or packaged, is jarring! We are nutritionally backwards in this country, starting from the ground up. We poison our soil, we poison everything we grow in it and then we poison everything we make with it.
when I was in Italy, I hardly saw any overweight people at all. I'm a big eater and I couldn't even handle their idea of a full lunch, course after course. Something's not right.
We’ve allowed it to continue because the public either doesn’t know, or many just don’t care or too many just trust federal agencies/government to do what’s right for them, to make them safe. Let's hope more are realizing these agencies could care less about our health and more about keeping their cronies in power and racking in the $$!
I volunteer on a small, organic certified farm. You wouldn't believe the amount of BS regs they have to go through to run the operation. From local town ordinances and building inspectors, to state level regulations, to the 'organic cert' itself. Think the big AG businesses face the same hurdles?
Of course not! Been following the case of Amish organic farmer Amos Miller in PA. It’s insane what the state of PA is putting this farmer through, especially when you consider the # of complaints & recalls & tainted products from commercial growers/dairy operations. The lawfare is mind boggling!
They are trying to make 'an example' of the man...as a warning and threat to similar farmers.
Going up to my original thought, the USDA, FDA, CDC and many other Federal level agencies need to just be abolished. No reform, just nixed. Sure, some of the regs/rules might, maybe make sense. So, let the States decide if they want to adopt them. And let the States get the voter feedback if the Legislature starts waffling around or Governors turn to unpopular 'Executive' mandates. Hey...we can dream right?
RFK Jr speaks Truth to Power & calls out these very important issues
He should be given authority to be a temporary Tsar overseeing and restructuring of these captured government agencies
Our nation’s health is deteriorating rapidly
It is a vicious cycle where Big Chem Big Ag Big Pharma Big Food Companies can all benefit from poisoning us and our children - we lead the world in obesity, diabetes, pre-diabetes, autoimmune diseases such as Parkinson’s- and our food supply is often toxic intentionally- follow the $$$ circle where one hand washes the other
The Amish are examples of excellent health fur all us to follow!
The people who are freaking out over Project 2025 would explode if you suggested abolishing regulatory agencies, but I'm with you. Let's get rid of them all.
I live in an area with lots of Amish, see them regularly in the grocery store...with carts full of white flour, sugar, cans of Crisco, 12-packs of Mountain Dew, Twinkies. I think they're probably not as healthy as everyone assumes.
One. Yet listen to the laundry list of side effects on any pharmaceutical commercial today, and they still remain. Yeah, tell me the FDA cares about your health.
I have lived in a place far far away where even in mud villages inhabited by the illiterate, everyone boils milk fresh from the buffalo before using it, They would consider anyone who didn't to be a moron.

Bingo. And then people wonder why Americans suffer so many health issues.
And why we’re so fat!
I'll have you know, I am not fat, but undertall. I should be like nine feet tall.
I have a similar problem!
I'm undertall in the midsection.
Why am I soft in the middle now, when the rest of my life is so hard?

Believe it or not, fluoridated water may play a big role in that as well:

Fortunately, I’m on well water or rain water with whole house filters. No fluoride.
Same!
*clinks muddy glass of water with Judy*
(I kid)
My generation grew up drinking water out of the garden hoses so pretty sure a little dirt ain’t gonna kill me!
Cold hose well water in a hot day was the best!
At least you get your daily minerals.
And I eat hot dogs every day to keep my Nitrite levels up.
Lol !
We don’t need “free” healthcare. We need nutrition and not poison.
They still use literally tons of pesticides that are banned here in Mexico and South America
Not in Chile tho, NAFTA ensures that
827 million,831 million 1.2 billion and 3.9 billion
Tons of pesticide used by USA,EU,Brazil and China respectively in 2019
FYI
(The four largest exporters of agricultural product)
All have their own lists of banned pesticides
Don’t trust the compliance with their own bans in Brazil and China…
And fat people eat too much, period. Calories are cheap and available here, and nature intends for us to gain weight
you're right
anecdotally, I never gain weight when I'm in Europe for long periods despite eating huge amounts of food and exercising less than in the US.
So I should go on the European diet...by moving to Europe...
not sure it's worth it
I was in Italy, drinking and eating pasta and pizza and lost weight. Here, I work out like a fiend and eat zero carbs and I can’t lose an ounce.
when I was in Italy, I hardly saw any overweight people at all. I'm a big eater and I couldn't even handle their idea of a full lunch, course after course. Something's not right.
The USDA, the Dept. of Ag are just as captured and in cahoots with their counter-parts at FDA.
Without a doubt! I would love to know what in the Constitution makes the federal government believe any of that is within their purview anyway.
Well that's an easy one...nada, nothing, nyet, zilch, zero...

Don’t we know it! Just check out what they’re doing to small farmers, the Amish, and soon to a backyard garden near you!

1000% agree with you!

I agree.
We do not need to be building back better!
We need to deconstruct. the US govt has too many people on their payroll.
we did not elect these turds..... I still can not figure out how this balloooooned in the past 40 years!
Never mind restructuring - abolishing would be more apropos.

My favorite was seeing an Amish farmer spraying his field with the chemical tank and a sprayer pulled by a team of horses.
Ditto!
The Amish have enough congenital conditions because of inbreeding to fill twenty medical journals.
Just hush and eat your cricket powder…
Have you ever read the FDA definition for "natural flavor"?
Unfortunately, almost everything offered as a "healthier" version of a food product has this mystery ingreduent added.
I've looked at a lot that the FDA has done. Ever looked into why they took phenylpropanolamine (a *very* effective decongestant) off the market in 2005? One very flawed (IMO) study. https://curetsky.substack.com/p/the-fda-does-not-care-about-your
