| There's a difference and today no the FDA doesn't give dam about people's health but about helping out the pharmaceutical companies. |

Eat meat, lots of it, especially baby sheep, the cute ones are the tastiest.
Also, if you can get the milk that is hand squeezed by a farmer with icy appendages the cows discomfort adds flavour. |

| They don't care. They are going to be harsher on dietary supplements and vitamins but they said that they need to get closer with drug companies.. |

The thing about prescription drugs is that their sale is already very heavily regulated. That is not the case with "dietary supplements". |

Eating only plants isn't going to save you from poisoned food. Pesticides and herbicides will kill you just as dead as diseases or toxins in meat.
Just wash your food, and cook it thoroughly, and you'll be just fine.
Getting killed by your food is like everything else in life - you can't eliminate all the risk from it. It's not possible. |

Heavily regulated by who? Oh yeah, the same people that get paid by drug companies! That makes me feel safer!
Yes, dietary supplements need to be regulated, no, prescription drugs are truly regulated. |
