This reminds me of the troubles the cheese nun had with an FDA inspector. (probs a youtube doc I saw) She won eventually, to be able to use wooden vats and hand methods to make the cheese. The nun is also a microbiologist. The science that was done around the case revealed that the many microbes embedded in the wood ENSURED a healthy balance of desired cheese microbes, whereas the stainless steel vats typically used actually allowed for dangerous bacteria to more easily proliferate. They tested by purposefully infecting both the wood and metal vats of pre-cheese with the bad bacteria. This test proved the wood vat cheese was safe, actually safer, and oh so much better tasting to boot I bet. So just like in politices, and all of nature, 'badness' grows in a 'perfectly clean environment' (read vaccuum), and many balancing forces (read microbes) keep badness in check. Life.
Fire everyone at the FDA, and replace them with organic farming minded folks.
Yup! Thanks for sharing that. Both horrible and not entirely surprising. I'll repost what I did at Martin's, if I may:

They are destroying any person, family, or community not totally dependent on Big State, Big Pharma, Big Agriculture (which has considerable overlap with Big Pharma), and Big Tech. Welcome to Neo-Feudalism by the Administrative State and your place in the caste system: a deeply indebted, poly-pharmaceutically dependent, wage-serf. SAD -- the standard American diet -- will ruin your health in short order. But it is profitable for both Big Ag and Big Pharma. This Amish family and community: already low-carbon footprint, but also self-reliant in many aspects. So of course they will be targeted. Question is -- will we continue to do nothing as all this happens around us, and happens to us.
Just one more example of the obscenity that is capitalism.

Take care of yourself.
