It sounds like someone screwed up big time dealing with the peanuts, but since you moved on from the peanuts story to a rant about the “jackbooted thug enforcement arm of the Pharmaceutical industry”...
I always laugh at these descriptions of the FDA. They’re “jackbooted thugs” because SOMETIMES they tell some left-wing kooks peddling quackery and snake oil that their snake oil kills people.
Then the “evil” drug companies spend billions of dollars on research and development to find the real medicines. They spend billions more to purify out the useless and potentially harmless biproducts. Now, the “supplement” has become a “pharmaceutical.” So they have to spend billions more to test the efficiacy, and safety of their product. Now, those same jack- booted thugs are corrupt shills when they let a tested, quality-controlled, proven-effective product move to market.
You left out the trial lawyers...the real jack-booted thugs that strip billions from Health Care and Pharmaceutical every year either in settlements or outrageous insurance premiums resulting from excessive litigation.
