Even if it does, trading fewer additives for more outbreaks of easily preventable diseases is probably not going to be a net gain. I’m also curious how this kind of thing would be enforced if we also gut the departments.

Maybe in many cases it’s a difference in labeling requirements, and the content is identical?
Definitely not saying always, but the way this is conflated regularly to promote quackery is disheartening.
That said, US brand soda and corn syrup can eat a bag of dicks.
This is such a trump voter comment. lol
