Sell It First. Ask For Forgiveness Later.

It seems that the FDA and food companies work by the adage: Sell it First. Ask For Forgiveness Later.  But ethically is food production a venue where this adage would be acceptable?  Oops sorry your child got mislabeled as ADHD because they ate some our of our cute bright food colorings. Is there no accountability?  Seemingly no. Because there are no long term scientific studies yet, (other than the ongoing "Eat-At-Your-Risk" one we've got going on in our country). There aren't any scientific studies that can take these food additives off the market. My question: Why aren't we doing such studies?  Not profitable?  No incentive?  Never mind that moms across the country have seen dramatic changes in their child's behavior after they omit foods with dyes from their diet. I guess the other argument for food dyes is that Americans just don't care.  We like the bright colors.  But do most Americans know that these same American companies make their food different for European countries?  I seriously doubt it.  Most people assume what's being put on the store shelves had to undergo some sort of safety inspection by the FDA.  They don't realize that the FDA has really loose requirements.
