Oh paleez!  "distorted by CURRENT FDA managers" my arse!  The whole routine 
of bought and paid began with Reagan who fired the FDA director because he 
wouldn't approve aspertame and replaced specifically with someone who would! 
And, it's been down hill since then.  All though, I will agree that the 
latest group are the worst.  However, that directly relates to Dumbya 
approving the FDA being able to accept outside funding.  The FDA has been in 
the pocket of Merck and Monsanto ever since!

However, I am absolutely amazed that it is Repubs hollering about it.  They 
have conveniently looked the other way and refused to address the issue of 
the outside funding and cute little games like the FDA approved (testing 
chemicals on poor children in FL, for example) over the last 8 years.
