Frankly, maybe you should read some more, and build your own opinions rather than relying on others to tell you what is going on.
Here's a hypothetical situation.
My company sells a product called Plastidpower tablets. It's basically a product derived from algal organelles. We market this product as a therapy for everything from protection against UV to cancer prevention. Under this new law, now my company must justify the claims we make, there must be rigorous testing to make sure the product is safe, and there must be controls to ensure that customers are getting what they are paying for.
Before the law came about, I could sell my product to health food stores around the country. They didn't know, and hence didn't care that I was buying my product from a lower quality manufacturer in southeast Asia, rather than a high quality manufacturer. They didn't know that the therapy they were purchasing contained unacceptable levels of heavy metals. It turns out the plants they harvested to extract the plastids grew on contaminated soils, and thus the customers were ingesting this unintentional bioremediated crap.
Kiss your freedoms good bye? I don't think so.
Bottled water is not a therapy. Blueberries are not a therapy. Unless you sell them as one, and customers should be protected from snake oil salesman who pass off these products as therapies.
Tonnington the legislation protects the profits of the big corporations,
lol Whatever happened to "caveat emptor", anyway?
I'm going to stop you right there. Big corporations are the ones making a killing right now off of this market segment. Their profits are not being protected by this legislation.
Again, this is why I find this uproar so ironic.
I guess it's all good so long as it's not the monsters you know ehh Beve? :lol:
Except the government pays the bill from everyones taxes when even your best intentions fail your health, so it makes some sense for them to be proactive with our money.
