So you want poisoned fish from China? And poisoned toothpaste? And tires which fall apart at 60 MPH? And children's toys with lead? You want all of this stuff????

Yep, the market will correct any deficiencies. One wonders at times what 'conservatives' did before the 20th century invention of the FDA without it there to 'protect' everyone.

How many people have died from poisoned fish? From poisoned toothpaste? From tires? A handful perhaps? And as a pet owner myself, don't forget the pet food either. In the case of the tires, the toothpaste, and the pet food, all companies involved put in the recalls themselves. Why? Setting aside minimal government fines, the main reason was fear of losing market share and future sales.

So no, I see little to no use for the FDA

He also does not mind that China is selling weapons to kill our military forces.
