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?

      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 :)

          Yeah, that’s kind of a crucial part of critical thinking, and can absolutely be done without shutting the kid up… You can critically analyze the question with them without discouraging asking questions
