I like you, also fear putting more control into the FDA's hands when they have already proven their ineffectiveness in the food and drug industries.....and they are very quick to put a stop to whistleblowers such as Kevin Trudeau....people who simply want to tell people the truth. I also don't purchase mainstream, processed foods and cosmetics...I buy a lot of my stuff in health food stores and online, as it is cheaper, and I support businesses who sell from the heart, instead of with their sole intentions on making money. When more people begin realizing that huge companies do not have their best interests at heart and demand safer products, only then can we begin to see real reform! This is the message I hope to spread with Toxic Beauty Blog and my upcoming ebook, <strong>Saving Face: Exposing Toxic Cosmetics</strong><em>. Robin</em> I applaud you Petra.

The FDA has not done a very good job about regulating medications and it does worry me to put more control of cosmetics into their hands....however we do need some form of legislation to curb the irresponsibility of some cosmetics companies. Thanks for commenting! Robin Trish,

But I don't agree that we should give the FDA more power...they already run amok in so many ways, and they seem to have a level of absolute power and control that is un-challenge-able (a new word, LOL). I think we send our messages with our dollars. The conglomerates would be poor if they were relying on my spending to keep them afloat. Food conglomerate products account for - probably - 1% of my spending. I buy staples like rice or beans and fresh foods like produce and meats. I rarely EVER purchase any prepared foods, and I absolutely NEVER buy any foods that contain corn syrup, MSG in any form, artificial colors or artificial flavors. And I buy my personal care products at health food stores so that I am supporting companies that 1) make a great product and 2) are not poisoning me. If everyone stopped buying, say, Pantene Pro-V, and the shelves, distribution centers and factories were overloaded with unsold product, I believe it would send a message that the manufacturer would hear. America: STOP BUYING CRAP AND "THEY" WILL BE FORCED TO STOP PRODUCING CRAP! Only if their bottom line is injured will they heed the message and start offering us better, less toxic choices!

But, it's a meager start. Just think of what the FDA does control, like medications, and how quickly they are approved-then after people are killed by a drug or seriously harmed is the drug taken off the market. It's all about money/I'm afraid that if the FDA approves drugs after only a few months of testing, how serious will the standards be for chemicals in cosmetics? People need to be educated and boycott products that have the chemicals in them-but it's hard to do with the ad campaigns/promises made to the consumer etc.. I agree with the video.
