I think the point that everyone is missing, the non-looney-tune point of course…is that sure, the FDA is corrupt, the government is corrupt, etc… Given.
But what in the world makes people think that Herbalife, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and the billion dollar supplement industry are just some kind of rogue super hero, Robin Hood trying to rescue us from evil? Herbalife has been exposed as a pyramid scheme, Whole Foods just got huge negative press for butting something like Asparagus in a jar of water and selling it for $7, and Trader Joes is just another big company grocery chain.
Doesn't it ever occur to people that in this country, Iceman could poop in a can, say it has magical powers, and sell it to an idiot claiming it has magical properties…yet when the FDA asks him to prove his claims to gain FDA approval as a try drug/cure…he simply says, "No. I will not. It's a supplement and herbal supplements are not regulated under your giant government beuarocracy!!" Meanwhile…the REASON they aren't regulated is because of the 10s of MILLIONS of dollars they contribute to government to ensure their products DON'T have to be tested…and DON'T have to be regulated…and DON'T have to actually do ANYTHING they claim to do!!?
And Iceman isn't alone. Here in California there was a measals outbreak and once of the contributing factor to a diseason REAPPEARING after decades of successful vaccination is that all this "hipster rich OC moms" living in Malibu and Santa Barbara, etc… read some idiotic nonsense that vaccines killed a baby and now they don't want to vaccinate their kids…even though there's overwhelming evidence that supports vaccines and vaccine safety.
When I was young…we drank tap water, nobody had "ADD"…they were just ***holes, the only vitamin was a tasty Flinstone vitamin, virtually nobody had erectile dysfunction…and there were virtually no gay people. NOW…tap water is poisonous, every kid that sneezes loudly in class has A-D-D, the supplement/vitamin aisle takes up an entire aisle at Walgreens, 3 out of 4 men take a pill to get an erection, and if yu're NOT gay…that just means you haven't admitted it yet.
I blame plastic. When we drank everything out of glass and metal…no problems.
And I blame Iceman for the gay thing…I mean what do we expect of the world when they have to constantly be exposed to his Greek God-Like physique every week or so??? Right??
I'd like to say this topic has derailed…but I'm still thinking at some point we're going to get to some kind of "Alien intervention" and thats really what I'm waiting for….
