    I mean, it’s still sort of a trust based system even with the FDA. It just becomes, “do I trust the FDA?” instead of the market or someone else. I think they’re generally pretty good. But then sometimes they get pressure from Big Dairy and stomp all over farmers producing almond milk because calling it milk is deceptive in their eyes. And other times they block life saving drugs from being approved for years while sick people die, even after the drugs have been proven safe. So, there’s still trade offs.
