FDA Commissioner Marty Makary raised alarms about the widespread presence of controversial chemicals in the American food supply during a recent appearance on The Alex Marlow Show.
.
According to Breitbart, Makary warned that the United States is lagging behind other nations when it comes to protecting consumers from potentially dangerous additives. He stated, Now, theres over a thousand chemicals that appear in our food supply that are banned in other countries because weve had a regulationwhich allows companies to self-declare chemicals as safe without really showing anything.
Makarys remarks highlight a regulatory framework that effectively outsources safety determinations to the very corporations that profit from these substances. For conservatives who favor limited but accountable government, his comments underscore the need for a system that protects individual liberty and health without empowering unaccountable bureaucrats or corporate interests.
