No but honestly, people usually think corruption only exists in Africa or some poor shithole, what a big joke.
All western governments are corrupt as hell, the only point is that their price is so high that normal people lose sense of what is happening.
Look at how freely ex-politicians get "consulting" jobs or similar stuff, well they have been doing the industry favors for years, and still have their old buddies in the ministries. Sometimes the price is not money, but something else, power, things, a job for the kid.
The pharma industry is one of the biggest world wide, and supplements and health foods are starting to hurt their business, only a little, but a small dent can go far eventually. If people believe that sesamine caps, healthy food or sports lower their blood cholesterol as efficiently and with less side effects than medication, the pharma industry will lose BILLIONS of $$.
Pharma industry LOVES alcohol and tobacco industry, and I don't want to know how much money they put into fast food restaurants and other stuff...
Last but not least, the FDA are modern day Nazis, a Gestapo that decides upon what grwon up people can put into their bodies and what not, the governments have to stop regulating stuff that HAS safe usage protocols, in excess everything will be bad for you eventually.
Educate people to be more responsible, warn them but don't tell them what to do or not.
Fucking pisses me off to the nth degree.
