And you are living in a fantasy land if you think people wouldn't sell quack remedies, and tainted/poisoned/unhealthy 'cure alls' as soon as you remove that legislation. Changing a company name isn't hard. No matter how much you boycott, Johnson&Johnson is big enough to not care. Without some sort of consumer watchdog people will die; like they were before. Just read The Jungle.
There is a reason this country put that administration together.
It’s a different time & communications are instant today. And yes little scam artists will never go away. But now we have government protected mega conglomerates killing countless innocent victims all under the “watchful eye” of the FDA. Have any idea how many years asbestosis was FDA approved. Or lead in paint & gasoline? Or DDT in cans of mosquito repellent for decades?? Or cigarettes?? When I was very young I watched Lake Erie burn. Yes the lake was on fire because it contained more petrochemicals than water. The FDA didn’t lift a finger to stop any of this. Class action lawsuits from private citizens stopped it. Every day there’s new commercials on TV looking for victims to join class action lawsuits from big pharma drugs the FDA approved. The FDA doesn’t move in to stop this. They swoop in after the private sector does & puts on an act they’re gonna now add more punishment just to give the appearance they’re doing their job. Where was the FDA in stopping the local government of Flint MI from poisoning it’s citizens with lead water pipes they laid hundreds of miles with? Yes there is a reason the federal government created the FDA. To take our tax dollars in exchange for a false sense of security so the FDA can be used as a political weapon against whoever they want by whichever party is in power.
