University of Central Florida Federal Regulation and Nutrition Discussion
I’m working on a nutrition discussion question and need an explanation to help me understand better.
Should the FDA require prescriptions from physicians to allow you to buy vitamins and minerals? What about herbal supplements? Do you have the right to choose what foods and supplements you want, or should that be regulated by a government agency? Does the federal government have a role? (we’re not talking about prescription drugs here!). Consider the idea of protecting people from themselves vs. freedom of choice.
