“How I hate the FDA, the FCC, the HHS, and the rest of the unconstitutional portion of the federal government.”

I think you are wrong about the FDA.

The government constitutionally is tasked with ensuring safety and security.

The FDA serves one of the few legitimate constitutional roles that the government does today.

If one wants to address corruption or abuse relating to the FDA, that is fair, but us a separate issue than its constitutionality.

That's an overbroad statement, and it matches the FDAs overbroad actions.

Well, again, since the feds are absolutely limited by the Constitution which is the ONLY source of federal power to act, the first and really only question you have to ask yourself about the feds is, “Is it constitutional?”.

I see nothing in the Constitution to authorize the feds to interfere with our food or drugs or to establish the FDA. “Ensuring safety and security” is not an enumerated power delegated to the feds by the Constitution and ONLY enumerated powers are those the feds may exercise. Since unconstitutional federal acts are by definition acts of tyranny, the FDA and its activities are acts of tyranny.
