They (the FDA) evidently wants to see how much poison we can possibly ingest.
Of course. Feeding any animal something that is was not meant to eat leads to issues. The best cows/beef are allowed to roam on huge pastures full of grass, what they were born to eat. The average hamburger/beef/cow comes from a factory, not a field. I dare you watch Food Inc. It's a great documentary, and you'll puke watching some of the footage.
Cows that graze of grass are healthier, and for that matter, taste better, but they take MUCH longer to get to slaughter weight vs farmed cows which are fed grain, corn, and even ground cow meat! It's all about business. Who cares if if the beef sucks as long as we make a profit...right?!?!
As for the FDA, I don't believe in conspiracies, however there is a clear link between business and the government. Just look at Monsanto, the behemoth that controls a significant amount of the US crop. Search Monsanto and government and you find thousands of sites talking about their influence, and their bullshit saying it's all not true.
