Why You Should Care

[Guest guest]

Ever tried getting non-gelatin capsules for standard meds? I'm on 22

pills a day and I'm forced to swallow what ever they hand me, I have no

say.

 

Further, this speaks to the mind-set of the sociopaths who are supposedly

administering our food and drugs.

 

FDA means Food and Drug Adminstration.

 

The two are intricately linked.

 

Further, and worse, the FDA's vague-on-purpose regulations allow food and

drug makers to straddle the line with such categories as Additives and

Supplements and Nutrtion and so on.

 

And there is a push on by Big Drug to get herbs and tisanes and other

items currently considered " food " classified as drugs so they can start

controlling access to them and charge outrageous prices for them. This

arose due to the popularity of herbal medicines and treatments, which Big

Drug sees as robbing its pockets.
