Don’t Eat Bureaucracy! | Episode 5
Don’t Eat Poop is back to discuss everyone’s favorite topic…
… bureaucracy!
No? Well, we promise it’s interesting.
Should the FDA split into two agencies, one overseeing drugs and one food? Should cannabis fall under yet another agency? Francine and Matt have thoughts. Also, did you know that states (and even counties) have their own rules that help make up the regulatory patchwork of food safety in the United States? What to do?!
Also discussed: the TikTok trend of sticking garlic up your nose to clear your sinuses. Listen to the podcast for more detail, but let’s get this out of the way: NOT a great idea!
We hope you enjoy this episode!
