I had this Chinese roommate in Australia who was from the town where Tsingtao Brewery is based. He said there was real concern over meat in China. A lot of shops would inject beef with water so it looked fresh past expiration, or they'd cut some ground meet with filler products. There are some videos out there on "gutter oil," where some people will pump used cooking oil out of the trash.

I like the idea that the FDA should just be a labeling agency and people decide what to buy and not buy. Yet, you have fat retarded Internet lawyers like Robert Barnes going on about Amos Miller; an Amish person who is being restricted from selling raw milk products. He leaves out that his products got people sick, he was stilling them over state lines, and the local regulators even tried to work with Miller, but he refused to clean his fucking tanks!

Allison Morrow covers the same type of "raw milk" issues, but one of the farmers she interviewed had literally labeled hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of raw butter as "for animals." Then she's pissed she has to destroy all of it because the FDA comes in and says you're not fooling anyone.

The "de-regulation" lobbyist are literally trying to remove country labeling from beef. You want American cattle or Chinese beef? Well too bad, you can no longer tell, just like we have zero labeling requirements for GMO crop products like in the EU.

The FDA lets a lot of stuff get through. Yellow 5 should have been banned forever ago, as well as dozens of other additives. It's not great, but I think the dangers of full de-regulation could be a lot worse.
