RE: Anarchy is all around us. It is self-interest and money, and not government regulation, that keeps you safe.
The FDA was started because a meat company had sold some bad beef, and people were stopping their purchases from the company. And so, they begged the govern-cement to set up a regulatory agency to restore people's trust in them.
Oh the horror stories I have heard of the FDA.
Basically, their regulations have caused all of the large food poisonings I have heard of.
Not surprised one bit, but am surprised to learn that's how the FDA got its start!
Yep. How about poisoning the alcohol supply during the prohibition so that people couldn't make their own booze anymore (lots of them died, unaware). Real nice folks, over there at "the government."
