“The bill would require dietary supplement facilities to provide FDA with information on supplements and their ingredients on an ongoing basis, would substantially alter the requirements applicable to new dietary ingredients (”NDI’s”), would give FDA mandatory recall authority, and would expand adverse event reporting requirements, among other changes.”

It is designed to protect consumers from the harmful effects of magic elixirs pushed by charlatans. Even excessive consumption of legal substances can be harmful. The article is merely a libertarian rant against big government. If the author wishes to risk the importation of counterfeit supplements from China containing God-knows-what, I can sell him magical cat urine that can cure baldness, cancer, and hangnails.

Sure, and Obamacare is ‘designed’ to lower health care costs by adding a public option to increase choice and competition.

I can’t imagine why anyone would be against that. We all know there are never any unintended consequences from any of these bills.

And if I want to use magical cat urine to cure my baldness, that would be my business. You and John McCain can just stay the hell out of it.

I am not smarter than everyone else. However, I am smart enough not to use cat urine.

I would not thrust you with cat urine. lol

[perfect_rovian_storm]

And the legislation will be there for you in case you hit your head one day and decide to use cat urine? Then Uncle Sam will be there to protect you and make sure you do the right thing, right?

Or is it for the rest of us? You know, the rabble. The unwashed masses. The ones who are just too stupid to make their own decisions. They need the help of you and John McCain to make sure that they don’t do such stupid things.

You cannot escape your cat urine remark. lol

The only thing I’m interested in escaping is from people like you who advocate for big government nannyism.
