They wouldn't have let me in a room with the FDA for the entire time I've been working in food and health.

So my first question on stage.

So, Marty, when you're done here at the FDA, which big pharma company are you going to go to work for?

So I do think the leadership at the FDA has some really powerful, beneficial things we can do, especially around regulating chemicals in food.

That's necessary, because if you don't have that, you get what's going on at the EPA.

I don't want big companies to run rampant, but I don't want companies to run the FDA and use it to enforce monopolies.

In fact, all the counties that spray the most glyphosate have higher cancer rates.
