A friend asked me if my vitamin brand was FDA approved, and it got me thinking. Remember when our beef had a blue stamp saying as much? With all the products on the market, and all the corruptness going on, I think it is not something we can count on anymore.

Your beef never had an FDA stamp on it. It had a USDA stamp.
Didn't Obama appoint a Monsanto executive to head the FDA?
Ssshh!! Some people still pretend that Obama is any different than Bush.

You have Michael Taylor.
His .gov profile mentions Monsanto in the last sentence with "other jobs".
Only Michael was a Monsanto Executive and lawyer for them for nearly 7 years.
FDA does not "approve" most of the products it regulates. The term "approve" is used by the public and really is not correct in most cases. FDA "registers" or "clears" most products but on fact only a few types were ever "approved."
Oops........You are right. Is that a thing of the past also?
I have no idea, I haven't bought beef in years. I would assume they still stamp it though.
