When I see “the FDA has stated…” I automatically think it is probably a corrupt conclusion bought by some powerplayer to maximize their own profit instead of having to do with whether the statement is true or not. I’ve always viewed FDA as basically a council of a bunch of power players on boards of Big Capitalism companies like Pepsi that make decisions based on control and market share rather than health.

but I see posts now about how trump attacking FDA equals bad. So is my view of FDA wrong? Are they noncorrupt? Are they a necessary evil? Should they be thrown in a volcano and remade?

Ahh, I don’t think the question is to be taken that literally. And if you look around in the responses, you see plenty of people with more nuanced answers.

However, you can still have an opinion about the overall organisation regardless of the nuance.

Thats how writing works.

It’d be meritable if that person were six to eight years old.

you’re the one who would raise a smart child :)

the people you are speaking against would have children that stop asking questions after the first few times they are hurt by doing so.

good job being a good person :)
