The FDA protects us from unsafe drugs and food, right? They tell us what we can and cant use by their own determination, and blah blah blah. Everytime a new drug comes out, they have to approve it. Yes.

The reason I dont stand behind whatever the FDA says is because while they tell us how to take care of ourselves, theyre bastardizing organic standards along with the USDA and they do it all in favor of corporate interests. No you cant use this drug, its bad for you, and by the way, we made it even more legal to put even more dangerous synthetics in the food you eat because Wal-Mart wants to profit on the organic movement sweeping the nation. But real organic food is too expensive and complicated, so we just slip in a rider to this bill and voila! Nobody votes on it and now organic standards are leniant enough that we can call anything organic! Now Wal-Mart will give us some money as thanks because all those foolish hippies will buy organic from them!

Bite me, FDA and USDA.

Whats really sad is people dont really understand what a huge problem this is. Organic standards are for people who dont want to eat a bunch of genetically engineered, irradiated, or synthetic food, and who can blame them? Theres a truckload of health problems that follows suit with synthetic food, including cancer and birth defects. Also, big factory farms raising animals have no qualms with injecting their stock with unnatural hormones. As an example, rBGH, or bovine growth hormone. Starbucks has always promised to use fair trade and organic dairy products someday, and its been years since they made that promise. Theyve done nothing to make good on that claim. rBGH makes a cow produce more milk in its lifetime than it naturally would, and has been shown to cause cancer in people that drink that milk. And the cows health suffers as well.

The FDA, USDA, and corporate pigs dont care whats in our food, just so long as we buy it, eat it, and come back for more. Because were human, we have to eat. They know that, thats why its such a flawless market to cash in on.

People who want organic food these days could be buying something that is labeled USDA organic, but thanks to corporate interests vs. the peoples interests and the governments siding with the prior, its nearly just as bad as everything else on the shelf. So now we cant even trust that USDA Organic stamp on the product.

So I cant smoke pot, but I can eat a bunch of genetically engineered, irradiated, and synethic crap that could devastate my health? Why cant I do that on my own terms?
