Whats next water?

They're already working on that.
Not FDA but EPA is poised to regulate all 'bodies of water' in the US, including ground water, which will mean everybody with a well or a drain could be hit with new regulation.
It's part of the "Clean Water Act".

They intend to make lawbreakers of all of us.
Either to strip away our rights or have us pay huge amounts for permits for every little thing.
It's a thinly disguised variation of the protection racket if you ask me.

I’ve run a small water system in Ohio for almost 30 years. Nothing the epa does surprises me! We have 4 deep wells, and before the epa was formed, the Ohio Department of Health said we had some of the best water in the state. Now, it doesn’t matter how good the water is, we’re mandated to do all kinds of unnecessary treatment. Man! Were the customers wee wee’d up when we had to add chlorine,,,, then organo-phosphate. Not unreasonable treatments, but it ruined the taste of the water, and peeps were not happy about that. Anything further will drastically raise their bills. 20 years ago, the epa rep told me that they felt that $1,500 a year for water was completely reasonable. And that was 20 years ago!
