What about the arsenic levels in chicken? What about high fructose corn syrup? The FDA, is a branch of the Federal Government, which is perfectly content with you and I working all of our lives until we retire at 69. All the while we a paying into the ponzi scheme called social security. Once we retire, travel for a year or two, then get sick and die, thus the Feds can "absorb" your social security nest egg into the general fund. Eat healthy people. If you want to put it to the government live a long life and suck as much out of social security that you can, after all you put your money into it.
