I was told - but I never fact checked it - that the FDA actually has less than 10 employees. Everyone else is an outside contractor. And if it is true, I do think it needs better organization.
If an agency that has to protect all consumers is organized this way, that's really worrisome.
Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS, has gained momentum, encouraging individuals to use their purchasing power as an effective tool for change.
I'm just repeating the obvious thing: always take off your outside shoes in your living quarters, and have home shoes. You can also do this with your clothes, having a separate comfy set. Jut to keep the outside clothes off of your furniture / bed.
