Here's a Nice Example of What Happens

[Napoléon]

Isn't there something called abiding by the letter of the law, and abiding by the spirit of the law?

I think this company is guilty of not abiding by the spirit of the law, even though they may have been following it to the letter.

Then again I may have been watching too much Judge Judy.

I'm a libertarian, but I'm actually for expanding the power of the FDA to include so-called "dietary supplements" which supposedly make you lose weight but in reality probably don't do anything at all. Products which contained ephedrine were available for years before the FDA made them pull them from the market. For some reason, products such as these aren't subject to FDA regulation, so manufacturers can make all sorts of claims about them as long as they have the "This product has not been tested by the FDA and is not intended to cure or prevent any disease" disclaimer. So that's why you have a shitload of pills on the market which supposedly can increase penis size, which in reality I doubt they do anything at all. If there really were a pill which could do that, every guy in the country would be taking it.

If there was a pill that could actually do that, it would be regulated by the FDA! Imagine the result if someone snorted one of those! )

Hmm, Jimmy Durante squared!
