Read the Constitution. Start at the Tenth Amendment, then go through the list of enumerated powers granted there. Don’t see an FDA? You’re right, it’s not there, hence it’s an illegal usurpation of power. Government was never intended to tell We, the People, what we might or might not ingest, period. Ever. For any reason. We are a nation of grownups, who need no nanny. And who are quite capable, when left alone, of raising our children successfully. I can look at my own son as proof of that concept.
Get your government OUT OF MY LIFE!!!
“Read the Constitution. Start at the Tenth Amendment”
Starting at the beginning might be a good idea as well.
The FDA has been a successful use of our system as a people.
We warned everyone we could about ‘The Food Safety Act 0f 2010”...a real issue for food consumption in future.
Our Constitution is a limitation on government. If an authority is not granted to .gov, that function MAY NOT BE DONE BY GOVERNMENT. Period. And an FDA is NOT authorized, nor a good idea for .gov to be involved with. Protecting us from criminals (states and locals) is proper. Protecting us from foreign threats is proper (fedgov). NOTHING ELSE unless at the state or local level, PERIOD.
Furthermore, FDA has kept many good and useful drugs off the market far longer than needed except to cover some bureaucrap’s behind, contributing to YEARS of needless suffering and death. Which makes it useless as well as unconstitutional. The General Welfare clause you seem enamored with is a GOAL, not a grant of authority.
Ok friend.
Be well.
Thanks for the ping!
