& Rave

With all of the political double-talk these days, sometimes significant national problems are overlooked.
For example, what is the deal with our Food & Drug Administration? They really must be outed for their consistent dropping of the proverbial ball. America's airwaves are FULL of ads for boner pills, fat burners, muscle-building powders, ugly-eliminators, energy drinks, birth control, ass-pluggers, etc. You name it, and they are ready to fill you to the brim TODAY.
Products like these are always changing, because companies are constantly inventing new chemicals and compounds, to "help" us with our problems. New chemicals mean new side effects, and as we all know, the side effects from products like these are often serious. Thank God for the F&D Administration, right?
Wrong!--While the advertisement's announcer is assuring you that this crap is the greatest invention under the sun, the small print always reads:
"These statements have not been evaluated/approved by the FDA."

WHAT!? WHY?!
What the fuck? What in the hell is going on over there? These products look like they are definitely either FOOD or DRUGS, so why aren't you evaluating them? Isn't that your entire job? What the fuck are you evaluating? Food? We've been around for tens of thousands of years, and I'm pretty sure that we have all the food knowledge we need: If it's edible, eat it. If not, don't.
How many Thalidomide nightmares need to happen before the FDA does some work?
