It's the consumers fault for buying poison, don't need the government to ban products, need them to stop giving approvals on them imo

We don't eat that. We only eat fresh 🥕 🥬 🥦 ☘️ 🥰

Very strange that they would make such poisonous food in the first place!

They use a lot of crap in Europe too, the difference is that sometimes you'd have someone bothering to make it illegal. After I and my wife became parents, we decided to cook mostly at home but starting from scratch. We go out, eat and drink, but what we eat at home is made at home.

Americans love deregulation. So, when there's no one checking what's going in where, you eat whatever or dyor. It's what you want right? Deregulation, less government and less oversight? Eat chemicals then EU regulations actually benefits their society.

Aldi offers some relatively affordable alternative. They use natural dyes for many of their products.

Great rip @Marty Bent! To add to what y'all said about pharmaceutical companies running ads directly to consumers, a big part of why they do that is to control the platforms they run ads on.

founder of kellogs was a kiddy fiddler and serial bullshit artist, senior associate in the formation of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and advocated circumcision to stop boys from masturbating and in USA medicine is standard practice without any medical basis. and nobody talks about it, and go fuck yourself if you don't think that mutilating an infant human being isn't despicable you may go fuck yourself with a red hot rebar, while being slapped repeatedly by many trouts

Opened up a few of the magazines in the waiting room at a medical office last week. These magazines were not medical-themed, they were publications such as Time and People but the majority of the large, color, multi page ads were for pharmaceutical products.

The ROI is not in how well it drive sales from readers

What is the free market solution to this? I feel like in the episode I hear Marty shilling for the FDA to regulate this away.
