If you think about it, we may owe the FDA our thanks for providing us all no matter our politics with something so universally cringe worthy.

This is a great example of how deregulation can help business. Likely you’re right. FDA had to do what it is chartered to do. (And if not FDA, then some other bureaucracy.) But damn. Look at the cost to Costco (and likely its supplier, and who know what other entities) just because the packaging doesn’t specifically list what even idiots know should be in the package! Some bureaucrat likely pulled the trigger on this.
Government needs to eliminate stupid regulations, AND eliminate the bureaucrats hired to police those regulations.
Please do not eat the Tide pods!

How many people don’t actually know butter doesn’t contain milk??? 
I used to churn for my Grandmother when I was about 10 or so.
Wore my little arms (at the time) out. 
Bureaucrats!!!

What the hell? If it isn’t made from milk, then it isn’t real butter, and has to be labeled as such. This is the type of stupidity that just never ends.

I’m sure we can find thousands of people willing to accept few pounds of that butter to offset raising food cost.

I bet a lactose-intolerant Karen sued them because she wasn’t adequately warned or something like that.
Reminds me of a gal who sued a mom’n’pop pharmacy back in rhe 90s (I think).
She said they had inadequately explained the spermicidal jelly the had sold her and even though she had spread it on her toast she still got preggers.

Yeah, I’m thinking this deserves mentioning on the government efficiency thread
My bighorn sheep is not a kitchen staple
Look, I fully understand we have people who are lactose intolerant, but do we really need to warn people butter actually contains milk?
I mean, isn’t that what butter is made from?
Sure! I don’t disagree. But As an example of why a new dept is necessary?
An example of the fact that we don’t need those folks.
The FDA folks who made this ruling could hve taken the day off and we’d all be a little bit better becasue of it. (Perfectly good butter being thrown away.)
Imagine a building full of people working for the govenrment.
Because they “work” for the government their one and only job is to say “this is not allowed” and “thatis forbidden.”
They don’t make anything happen.
Forty hours a week, 50 weeks a year, thousands and thousands of people all across government saying “no,” “don’t” and “you can’t.”
They are ALL in the business of stopping things from happening.
100% of their jobs is stopping the economy and forcing the economy to throw things away.

Yes i understand what a bureaucracy is and why it’s bad and bloated.
The issue is creating a new bureaucracy to oversee bureaucracy has often resulted in only more bureaucracy
You are completely misreading the point in that thread made by me and other posters. Actually i don’t think you are reading it at all.
