The '''Food and Drug Administration''' ('''FDA''') is the [[federal]] agency that regulates and often interferes with [[food]]s, human and veterinary [[drug|medication]]s, biological products, and medical devices. For each of those goods, the FDA pretends to ensure that they are safe and effective, while instead often delaying approval in an expensive game of lobbying. Bureaucrats at the FDA aspire to land much better paying jobs in [[Pharma|Big Pharma]], which distorts their decision-making. | The '''Food and Drug Administration''' ('''FDA''') is the [[federal]] agency that regulates and often interferes with [[food]]s, human and veterinary [[drug|medication]]s, biological products, and medical devices.
