FDA, industry partner to tackle tainted supplements issue

There is no such thing as over regulation, as long as it's purpose is to protect the American people. Too many corporations buy the favor of our sell out congressional representatives (federal, state & local), to counter regulatory implementation. Regulations of even the simplest kind, costs money and affects their bottom line. Corporate America has a couple of hundred years of profit over consumer safety, worker health, safety and treatment, The American economy and everything in between. Yes, that's everything from slavery, to mine and manufacturing safety, to child labor, to false advertising and product mislabeling, to Love Canal & all the associated environmental pollution issues in history, to overseas manufacturing relocation, to dangerous food and toys, to credit rates and fees gouging, to the most recent economic almost depression, to the Gulf oil spill.

I have little faith in the grossly underfunded and under manned FDA and CPSC, but I have little to no faith in corporate America to do the right things on their own. The self regulation and oversight of corporate America, is an equation that has never worked, and most likely never will, for the foreseeable future.
