    The fact that you can get around seemingly every FDA reg by just putting “this product not endorsed by the FDA” in tiny text in a corner of the packaging makes me wonder why we even have the FDA. If the laws were serious they’d make it so that you can not sell anything for human consumption that isn’t approved.

      That is not true. You can make vague claims and have a disclaimer, think “promotes gut health” but you can’t claim you cure cancer. The FDA will come after you.

      So now the government is going to decide what I am allowed to put in my own body? Very well, when the GOP bans vaccines, birth control pills, abortion pills, transitioning medication, and restarts the war on cannabis don’t come crying to me. Because they are doing exactly the policy you advocated for.
