The FDA's job hasn't been to keep people safe for a few decades now. It's job is to run interference for MegaCorps by giving their products a great big green tick "This is safe!!!" whether it is safe or not.

The only thing the FDA eliminates now are chemicals which are so obviously harmful that they would lose all credibility if they didn't act. "Arsenic in your baby food? That's fine not good."

This whole thing with Aspartame has been known for years. Stay clear of diet sodas as they all use it, or better yet, stay clear of soda period.

I'm feeling some schadenfreude here because the conservatives have been trying to neuter the FDA for decades, going back to the 80s. And now that they've succeeded, and the FDA has become a sockpuppet for corporations and spends all its time shilling for Big Pharma, conservatives are all "Why isn't the FDA protecting us from poisons in our food, water and air? Why aren't our medicines safe?"

Because you fuckers kept calling the FDA "communism" and now the capitalists control it, and you're surprised that the FDA now rubber stamps their corporate masters' products?

"When I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces Party, I didn't think they meant my face!"

One of the the leaders of the US health department is a perverted fat man pretending to be female who went to maskless anonymous gay orgies during a fake pandemic who sexually grooms vulnerable young children.

Criticism of the FDA really has been long running and very bipartisan. The problem with pharmaceutical lobbyist and pay-rolled people involved in the FDA has been on going since like the 70's. Then the 80's and 90' had be criticism with handling of HIV drugs.

The criticisms are usually the same; Overt instances of pharmaceutical lobbying, collusion, and otherwise appearances of impropriety. Many instances of turning a blind eye, and recklessly, but quickly, approving, defending, and appearing to favor some drugs and food additives, with direly bad outcomes. As well as the opposite; slow-walking approval of other drugs for years and years, burying some in inconsistent excess requirements, thus driving the costs of new medications up astronomically and solidifying pharmaceutical near monopolies through regulatory capture, while making generics difficult, furthering end consumer medication costs.
