It is quite the conundrum today that the FDA is criticized harshly on all sides, left and right, for being both too restrictive and too permissive (food ingredient blacklist instead of EU whitelist, approving that Alzheimer's treatment that's probably going to do nothing but grift Medicare for billions of $).
