You're right, better dismantle the FDA post-haste since a solid half of what they do there is make sure that things don't harm people.

Also, they delay life saving medicines for decades.

They try. But they're hugely understaffed. And they get conned a lot.
Unrelated to the issue of trying to prove a negative - can you demonstrate where the US Constitution allows the Federal Government to set up the FDA in the first place?

Some of what the FDA does is good and proper. But it's unconstitutional for the Federal Government to do it.

Downvotes don't count as demonstrating ;-P
