Since that is what the fda was created to do: protect customers from shady business practices such as shredding workers into ground beef or putting arsenic on your French fries.

And good god, quit while you're ahead before you being Gmos into the mix.

Mmmmhmmm... Because every governmental agency does exactly what it was originally created to do...And a restaurant being upfront with the FDA is not the same as being upfront with the customer. FDA stamp of approval might mean something to you, but I prefer to be the one who decides whether or not I should be putting something into my body.

Paranoia in place of evidence. Nice.

It's very enlightening.

Lol I haven't seen that movie in years. Might be interesting to view it through older, more sober eyes.

Being paranoid is different than being wrong.

Yes, but there is still a lot of overlap. You need to bring more evidence to your side than alluding to supposedly shadowy organizations as always being scary and evil.

I think you're mistaking me for Mr. Strawman, because you're free associating again. I do realize that there are reactionary individuals on both sides who will believe anything they hear: whether it be the latest trend in conspiracy theories or the latest opinions from "experts." I feel more personal accountability for my body so I trust neither side and make my own decisions based on how the human body functions.

So basically evidence is oppressive. Got it.

Remember that if you're going to say something around here you'll have to back it up if it's not common knowledge.

Clearly evidence to you is whatever Mr. Hall Monitor says it is. I trust whatever evidence measures up to years of OCD interest in human physiology. Particularly where food is concerned, which brings me to my second confession (which I dare say is more controversial than my first)...

I am obsessed with the digestive tract. I could study that **** all day
