Really you all should read this article! It is insane to me.

It may be more alarming than reassuring to learn that Hamburg's speech was so remarkable to veteran FDA observers.

One would like to think this has always been the standard operating procedure for the country's top consumer safety agency, not a radical new idea from a commissioner just confirmed in May

what is going on here so now if you own a small business Obama’s FDA can clame you have dirty floors and seize your assists correct me in im wrong here please.

Didn't that used to be called the gestapo? America is burning.

What next?

Im not worried about the FDA in general I am worried that instead of fines they are raiding places with police. What is that about? Perhaps the FDA has dry skin?
