people taking protein supplements teeming with lead so that society will see them as a worthy male provider feels about right for where we're at these days

i was surprised to learn that bc most protein powders are considered dietary supplements, they basically fall into a regulatory grey area

there's no federal limit on the amount of lead they can contain and neither manufacturers nor the FDA have to prove these products are safe before they're sold

Protein powders and shakes, like all dietary supplements, fall into something of a regulatory gray area.

There is no federal limit specifying the amount of lead allowed in protein powders. And while the FDA requires that manufacturers keep their products free of harmful contaminants, it largely leaves it up to companies to decide what counts as harmful and test their own products for compliance.

Before 1994, manufacturers had to prove herbal products were safe before selling them. That changed after Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. The law sharply limited the FDA’s authority, leaving supplements far less regulated than drugs.

Today, supplements are “presumed safe unless found otherwise,” says Cohen at Harvard Medical School, and most products face scrutiny only after reaching the market—meaning unsafe or contaminated supplements can reach consumers before problems are caught.

yah sorry, nobel prize in economics is a similar mechanism of normalizing stupid evil ideas anyway

jacob webs @chaoticwickie.bsky.social · 5d

near the beginning of pinochet's regime they gave the nobel peace prize to milton friedman, who laid the groundwork for the dictator's destructive free market policies. it's nothing new, but feels especially lazy to just give it to the puppet rather than an "economist" in her orbit
