One of the lessons from our recent national election is that we are a nation ofย individuals, notย demographics. We change over time and with the circumstances. Thatโs not only true of our political philosophies, but true of health as well. This has tremendous implications for public health and highlights why health and safety regulatory agencies arenโt succeeding as much as they should. I talked about this issue specifically as it relates to [the] FDA in my book shown above, Fixing Food.

FDA has been around for over 100 years and even people [who] love FDAโs food policies have found their โnewโ management plans to be โunderwhelming and elementary.โ We are long past the early days of inspectors easily finding food safety problems in plants, like rats running over meat, and intentionally adding obvious poisons to foods. Our problems require new thinking and new solutionsโbut nothing new ever seems to come out of FDA. Personalized nutrition for individuals and innovative food technology [is] necessary. It may require a new organization to get there.
