You are correct, in that we dont know what were getting with any of this non- FDA approved stuff.
Haha, most of the time we don't know what we're getting WITH the FDA approved stuff.
I'm doing a research/investigative paper for a psychology class now, and basically it's an argumentative piece bashing the FDA and large pharma companies for their pimping of antidepressants.
Did you know that there are over 40 studies (published and unpublished) that PROVE in proper lab settings, that a particular FDA approved SSRI doesn't work any better than a placebo, and actually causes more harm. The only reason it's approved is because the FDA only requires 2 studies proving that the medication is statistically effective. You think that the large pharms can't come up with the money to persuade 2 tests? :27:
and don't forget the big multinational owned farms in california, new mexico, arizona who rely on illegal immigrants to work for slave wages-and treat them like crap. who could blame these illegals if they urinated or deficated on the produce after being taken advantage of by american big business. face it-the leaders of industry are not very nice people, and will do anything/everything to make an extra buck.
and who has to pay the price for corporate greed?????
Corporate greed? You mean poor border control, right? The corporations are taking advantage of the illegals because they can. If the illegals weren't here illegally, they wouldn't be getting slave wages, and they'd have laws to protect them from being treated like crap. If they come here legally, I have no problem. If they're illegal, they deserve to be treated like crap, and given slave wages. So no, it's not corporate greed; it's left-wing hippies who welcome illegals with open arms, at which point they're taken advantage of (.. as they should be).
Anyway, to make this post somewhat related to the thread, the consumer will always be collectively retarded and the companies will always do what they can to exploit that. On that note however, if the companies taint products knowingly, they should be shut down, pay reparations, and the executives should be put to death, because we're running out of room for people in this nation, so let's start with removing the scum.
