The FDA is a joke.

[IceBergSLiM]

I can't decide what is more hysterical.

1) FDA banning caffeine + alcohol

or

2) FDA not regulating at all GMO foods

What is the real purpose of this pathetic organization?

The FDA is a joke. It's owned by corporations, and special interests. They aren't accountable to anyone, and have effectively bypassed the legislative branch.

 

[Modelworks]

The FDA stands for Federal Deposit Account. The more you deposit the more they do for you.

The youth of America are hosed! How will anyone have the skills to drop a shot of vodka into a Red Bull? Nice work FDA, that will fix things entirely.

The next thing you know they will try to ban weed or something....oh wait.

The majority of the effort the FDA puts into projects is really just trying to prove they are relevant.
And I suppose in an age of Big Brother they actually do serve one purpose: Remind us what an Orwellian future might look like.

gmo are fine, regulate what anyways, you think they make regular hybrid plant varieties go through trials and testing like with medicine? it is just consistent.

I can still fix up plenty of rockstar/redbull + vodka since I'm of age I can procure my cheap high whenever I like. so keep trolling.

The FDA is here to protect us,its for our own good. Someone has been watching to many Kevin Trudeau infomercials.

i missed the sarcasm face :awe:

 

[bignateyk]

I was with you until you suggested they should be banning GMO foods.

1) FDA banning caffeine + alcohol

There might be a real medical reason for making it more difficult to mix these. Some drugs really should not be mixed.

Example
cocaine = good
alcohol = good
cocaine mixed with alcohol forms cocaethylene = very bad

Just another "progressive" agency expanding their authority beyond the original intent.

Isn't it great when congress gives its power to unelected bureaucrats who have no accountability?

 

[Inspector Jihad]

You're a moron if you think the fda is useless or irrelevant. Sure it has problems but so does every other organization similar to the fda.

Where did I say that?

I simply stated that it has expanded its authority beyond its original intent and that expansion of authority was done by unelected bureaucrats with no congressional oversight.

I don't think he was responding to you, not that I'd expect you to get that while you're spouting off about progressives in every fucking thread you post in.
