11. In truth, the FDA is fairly worthless as a regulatory body, even more so

since Bushco has taken over. It's not as if they require any independent testing of products before they are unleashed on the public, even when the company peddling the new product has concerns if the political appointees overrule the science it's a done deal. GMOs being but one huge but very significant case in point. Hell, thanks to the FDA, we can't even get labels that tell us when the food we buy contains GMOs, much what type. So in a very real sense your classmate has a valid arguement, though for the wrong reason.
