FDA used to be thought of as a protection for consumers. It's probably more accurate to call it a gateway to credibility for your product (and muscle to crush competition?). In other words, it benefits powerful corps more than it does citizens.
How many billions are spent on studies to show some drug effectiveness, only to be discredited after people die or suffer some other problem linked directly to the drug? This is an ever more common occurence.
Commercials for drugs should be banned IMO. Never ask your doctor about a brand name drug! Just tell your doctor where it hurts. Do your own homework but remember you're being marketed SUPER hard and effectively with billions of ad dollars every day.
Simply dismantling the FDA and calling it done would be ridiculous. But restructuring where it's not corruptible sounds right. Chef Boyardee sure as fuck doesn't have a daily serving of vegetables in that can of processed horse shit, and sometimes a plant or herb DOES have benefits. Guess which one has more money? Yeah.
