I disagree. I think the best generic argument against the FDA is that government isn’t very capable of doing the many things we want it to. I would love perfect security when it comes to foods, drugs and supplements but even with regulations a lot of bad stuff slips through. Imo, that’s a better argument than that the fda keeps us from having nice things. The fda fails to protect us because perfect security isn’t possible, and past a certain point it’s all diminishing returns if not actually counterproductive (consider the effects of prohibition).
