> The other part: FDA is controlled by the companies that come under its umbrella. Think of the fox guarding the hen house.

People who work at companies that come under its umbrella wish that were true. It's not. There is a revolving door and a lot of pressure back and forth but the relationship is a lot more complicated than "pharma owns the FDA". There are some fire-breathing regulators there (who think they're the only thing preventing Big Pharma from selling us poison) who would slap your face if you told them that.
