Nothing new about that "zeitgest." At least the first part anyway. Obviously government is necessary. Just not an over regulated hand holding socialist nanny state where you can't shit without someone telling you how many sheets of toilet paper to whipe your ass with. Asking a regulatory agency to simply do it's job would suffice. Keeping untested and un-researched poisons out of our food doesn't seem like asking too much.
