The FDA announced today that it's investigating possible medical effects from BPA, the plastic ingredient that made us all stop using Nalgene. They announced this on a Friday evening, the traditional time you announce stuff you don't want people to pay attention to.
Which is shocking, because it's about damn time. It's about time that the Food and Drug Administration made sure our food is safe to eat and doesn't have shit in it. And that our drugs are safe to take and do what they're supposed to do. We've had 8 years of cuts in government resulting in lead in our toys and poop in our peanut butter.
Shame on the American Chemical Council for opposing safety in household products. And shame on George W. Bush for deliberately making us less safe for 8 long years. If guys from Afghanistan want to kill us, that's unacceptable. But if guys from New Jersey want to kill us, that's not a problem. Up yours, capitalism!
