Utopia Talk / Politics / US food quality problem

Habebe rank	Mon Apr 20 17:47:10 So, I thought RFK was supposed to help fix this? Like some Euro style food controls. Perhaps re aligning of subsidies (my argument FOR YEARS) Limit seed oils, banning things like.red 40, encourage healthier food practices, California leads the way but still lags behind Euros.
Hrothgar rank	Mon Apr 20 17:57:28 Yeah, one of the few things I thought he had some good ideas on ... just kinda vaporized into inaction for some reason. And that "some reason" is probably food corp money in the pockets of decision makers.

Habebe rank	Mon Apr 20 19:22:18 One thing I like about Trump is like his response to Ibogaine treatment for opiates. I think we should do the same with alot of FDA regulations. Our US system allows for food and drug companies to muddy the waters with BS studies and claiming something isnt 100% scientifically proven. But Ok, Mexico, Canada and New Zealand jave shown success for Ibogaine. Id say if say Germany, Canada, the UK and France for example ban some chemicals, even it's not 100% proven to be harmfull, error on the side of caution and just dye food with beet extract which we know is safer.

murder rank	Tue Apr 21 00:45:01 I'd ask why, but you have nothing to add. -
Pillz rank	Tue Apr 21 00:55:36 Answering 'why' would be a waste of time, as the sheer utterance of your statement is definitive proof of that fact you understand absolutely nothing about anything you said. Consumers have no choice. Everything is made with the same ingredients, and owned by the same companies, which own each other. They've been openly poisoning your nation for decades and still, retards think a free market and less regulation is going to solve the problem. Like, what part of the past 40 years makes you look back and say 'yeah, consumers can influence the quality of product they're sold' or 'companies can be held accountable by courts for poisoning people'? A few fines of a couple million dollars every once in a while?
Habebe rank	Tue Apr 21 01:21:50 I'm pretty big on "hey that seems to work well over there" especially if its a two way door choice, that we should maybe copy that. If alot of relatively successful countries jave done it, and it wasn't the downfall of the nation, it's a pretty good metric that it's not a terrible idea, it may not be the best, but it's not terrible.

Not to be an asshole but ... https://ww.../united-states/life-expectancy The poisoning of the American people has been vastly overstated. Besides, the penalties can always be adjusted to remove the profit incentive for cutting corners or being careless.
murder rank	Tue Apr 21 02:13:10 "I'm pretty big on "hey that seems to work well over there" especially if its a two way door choice, that we should maybe copy that." Good policy tends to be good policy. But dogma ruins everything here. -
