RFK hoping to eliminate food additives without testing. I approve. The FDA makes drug companies do mountains of research before they approve stuff to go in our bodies. The F part of that agency isn't doing that same sort of scrutiny.
"US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has begun the process of eliminating a US Food and Drug Administration program called GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe,” that critics say has been abused by the food industry for decades.
