Well, what's preventing the corporations from lobbying to change the rules to benefit them, just like every other time? I'm not going to cry because corpos haven't bought enough congresscritters.
Why can’t they get FDA approval? Seems sus as fuck.
Well, if you read the article ................ :/
Won't someone think of the poor corpos! Corpos like BASF and L’Oréal, which only had profits last year of €225,000,000 and €32,000,000,000!
So they are “afraid” eh? Still sus as fuck. Fuck those corpos they can play by the rules they don’t want to.
The "poor corpos" are saying the benefit of adding another market isn't worth the expense, and the risk of reducing their sales in established markets, so they are unwilling to jump through the hoops to enter that new market.
...and the hoop in question is animal testing. Of products that have been used by humans for decades.
