So true. It's not just what the FDA deems is safe for consumption either. When it comes to certain products and methods of manufacturing, there just isn't legislation or rules in place for what is and isn't okay. Also, even when the FDA bans something or outlaws it, companies will still do it. There aren't enough resources to police it all. And often, businesses would rather pay the fine than stop doing it. All at the expense of the consumer's health. Disgusting.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
As long is it's profitable for corporations to operate unethically by cutting corners and exploiting people and resources, it won't ever change, like you said the fines still make it worth it... so we have to vote with our dollars by taking our business elsewhere until they change (when possible)
There's an app I wrote about a few months ago called BUYCOTT I think you'd really love it, just gets you thinking about how our dollars are really more powerful than our votes when it comes to changing things.
