    I think John Oliver has covered this one. In particular, how poorly the FDA handles food safety but discusses inadequate funding and bureaucratic inefficiencies as a whole.

      You’re not wrong in any way, they definitely do need more funding. No matter how much you throw at it, the enormity of the task of making sure everything that wants to come to market is safe for humans… I can’t imagine how humans can even keep up.

      Sure, the risks associated with brain implants are high, but it’s something you (hopefully) very consciously have to agree to. It’s more value to test some artificial sweetener to make sure it doesn’t give us diabetes.
