Money IS the guiding force behind all corporate decisions and regard to the consumer is all but secondary. It is easy to see how Kevin can take the position he does.
Ah yes, it's all just the money. How do you propose people live if they don't get paid to save your life, study drugs that save your live, make sure drugs are as safe as possible so they save your life?
You suggest these people work for free??
What I find hilarious is all these nutters like Trudeau are the ones making the largest profit margins. How much did he spend to write his book and get it published? How much did he spend making sure shark cartilage worked? He spent NO money on research to make sure his products worked, he spent NO money showing how they could work...he spent NO money to make sure his "patients" were ever helped by them.
Supplements are not regulated, they are not tested. They are sold as FOOD. The sellers do not have to waste money making sure they have pure products that produce the results they claim to. In fact, it is illegal to make claims that supplements can cure or treat anything. That is why ol' Trudeau has been in trouble with the law.
How to get around making these claims. Write books about shark cartilage (freedom of speech) or write claims about echinacea...but don't sell it. Make claims about products that are actually tested and regulated...lie and say they don't work even though they do...and blow up the side effects and harp on them as though people are getting poisoned.
Then sell the products anyway...without any of the claims on the bottle. Just sell them as food. That is how you get around making the supplements drugs. Drugs have to be tested and regulated. That costs money. Suppments are just food. Food isn't supposed have any medicinal effects to regulate, and no side effects to monitor...except maybe obesity.
We make these laws to protect consumers. If you're going to sell something to treat a condition, then we want to make sure it works by testing it and regulating its use. You want to know about side effects, you want to know what doses to take and for how long. You are spending your money, let's make sure you get what you are paying for. If something is a "drug" (has a medicinal effect) then let's make sure it works and won't kill anyone through its use either short-term or long term. Let's not bother with food...food is just food.
As soon as you make a claim that something can cure cancer, treat a skin condition, prevent ulcers, then you have to prove it. You don't have to prove anything if you are just selling food.
Look at Trudeau. He's been in trouble for being made to follow the law. Now he's biting back and making a big buck doing it, and people are eating it up! He's a con, a fraud, and a convicted huckster.
Should we regulate drugs? Should we make people prove their claims about what they sell? Well yeah, duh. That costs money though. This is our health we are playing with.
But people like Trudeau don't want to be bothered with proving their claims. That's costly. He wants to make a fast dollar and convince you things are the other way around.
Trudea is a con and a hypocrite.
