The reason we have so many of these bad ingredients in our food is because of a loophole called the GRAS standard, Generally Recognized As Safe.”
“The industry captured that, they hijacked it.”
“They made everything self-affirming GRAS.”
“No matter if you just made it in a lab and you never did any safety testing on it, it could automatically get through that loophole.”
“That’s why we have 10,000 ingredients in our food and the Europeans only have 400 in theirs.”
“Most of these are laboratory-created.”
“They’re substances that don’t occur in nature and your body did not evolve to digest them.”
“We’re now closing that loophole so that the companies will have to disclose actually what’s in the food

Liberals will find some reason this is terrible

The food companies poison our bodies and the MSM and NEA poison our minds.

On the one hand, as someone who has both sued and defended pharmaceutical companies/medical device makers, I know this is a heavily exploited loophole - and exploited primarily for profit.
On the other hand, I don't want to pay $200 a bottle for aspirin.
Hopefully, there is a middle ground pursued.

I'm not arguing with you here, I want to understand, so I am asking.
How would closing this loophole cause aspirin to be $200 a bottle?

Why compromise your health?

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is the active ingredient in aspirin tablets. Common nonmedicinal ingredients may include cornstarch, hypromellose, powdered cellulose, and triacetin
Go to https://www.drugs.com/ and look up the side effects...one pharmaceutical drug usually causes the need to go back to the doctor who then prescribes another drug...it's their bread and butter.

I would argue that removing dangerous additives should lower the prices. Having said that, I also acknowledge that prices never really come down. In the end, I think prices will remain close to current.

This would be big, not huge, if and when it's been confirmed. We get so darn many of these upcoming initiatives that simply fizzle and are forgotten in a few weeks. Furthermore this effort still leaves the pre-market approval wide open for misuse, and it will be misused. Small steps it is then.

He and his people are doing good work but a combination of the TDS-obsessed fools and those who bow to the wishes of the corrupt system, groups like Big Pharma and Big Ag, will never acknowledge it.

If we are only allowed to use safe ingredients, the price of food will skyrocket.
Same people will not hesitate at our Dem overlords suggesting that we should start eating bugs and 3D printing meat

LSU should hire that guy to be Lane Kiffen's bodyguard.

He's exaggerating the cost jumps, but requiring retesting of components with established safety records costs additional money. Manufacturers will pass that cost on to us.

Because I'm not sure aspirin could pass current safety protocols and it would cost a ton to find out.

To the degree in which they can.

I don't even know the last time I took aspirin.
My dad used to take them and gave him ulcers. Probably why ive never been an aspirin guy.

Already happening.
I use a caffeine powder made by great value (Walmart)… a couple of weeks ago it was hard to find. I found out it was one of thousands of products Walmart is rejiggering to remove dyes and certain sweeteners from.
The reformulated version has hit the shelves and dyes like red 40 are gone. Same price as before they were pulled and replaced.
That’s but one of many products that manufacturers are getting the head start on.

Libtards are going to be furious about this

I've bought some caffeine tablets, full of unpronounceable additives, so good.
Small steps are fine, anything but retrogressive or status quo. Our food has been largely shite.

Agreed!
I’m excited that there’s a real focus on it now and changes are happening. I’ve always been envious of other country’s food rules when it comes to additives.
