I think we need a stricter regulatory mechanism for proving the safety of products that can pose a substantial risk to health or the environment, akin to that of the FDA.

Right now, it seems like you can put something relatively unproven on the market, and by the time we realize it’s unsafe, everyone has become dependent on it.

In response, companies cook up an analog that does the same thing, and the market switches to that.

Eventually, we discover that the analog suffers from very similar issues, and the entire process starts over again.
