I agree, FDA has no place in a free market. In a free market, companies would be able to sell poison to their customers... BUT, if something happened to the customers, they (or their estate) would be able to seek damages through the justice system. The problem we have with regulations is that they deflect responsibility... Any company can say "Look, we adhered to all the regulations" and use that as the basis to avoid taking responsibility if it turns out that the regulations were not adequate. Then they can just play the victim and demand more regulations. If you remove the regulator and just let the company deal directly with the consumer and don't let the government interfere with the free market to promote specific producers over others, then it would work itself out. The company would know that they have no regulatory shield to hide behind and they'll be forced to consider long-term implications of their decisions or face severe consequences and backlash from consumers.
