They have different rules than we do. Adjusting rules is fairly easy: change the bloody FDA. Agency lives at the pleasure of administration. We had (D)s in control of all three branches of government. Now we have (R)s in control of all three branches of government. The reason why this is not changing is because a compelling case is made that the current rules for !Garbage are better than the proposed alternatives.
