In 1974, when the FDA tried to make GRAS list supplements over the counter drugs, I was one of a number of people who testified. I had my 3 year old, and infant in a carriage with me so was a bit of a phenom in this room of 500 people. I discovered that day that both liberals and conservatives care a lot about their health and nutrition. I met the people from York barbells and chatted a while. We won that battle. I live near enough to DC to testify if there is an occasion, although at 83 I am not quite as mobile, especially in a Covid setting. Any ideas for strategies to advance the fight for govt. accountability, and control of Big Pharma?

I am glad to learn your friend and family are all recovered now. Thank you for letting me know.

That is quite something about your testifying back in 1974 re the GRAS list. Thank you for stepping up and helping out with an important win!

You are right about conservatives and liberals having that one thing in common, caring about our health.

I wish I had some ideas! Did you have anything specific in mind? It sounds like you have already done your part, though, and admirably!
