I totally agree with this. Our food is making us sick, drug companies are getting rich from it. Seems like a conflict of interest to me. Drug companies are not above paying money under the table to boost their profits
Europe has the European Food Safety Administration (EFSA). Look at the name. Food safety. And they have banned no many ingredients that are allowed in the USA, which has the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Notice how it doesn’t mention safety. There is an inherent conflict of interest in having food and medicine regulated by the same agency, in that what has happened is that the chemicals that are allowed in our food is making us sick, and it’s a cycle of profit for them and illness for us. Even for Americans who are aware of the dangers in our food system, it is so hard to escape and to find healthier alternatives. I am so jealous that people in Europe can just buy anything at the store and know it’s free of dangerous ingredients.
