As a fellow American, wouldn’t it be similar to the FDA putting out a PSA about what baby formula should be avoided?[1] Or warning of the dangers of benzone contamination in sunscreen?[2] Or the CFPB putting out a PSA on responsible credit card practices?

Seems like we have government PSAs too if I’m understanding the comment correctly.

It would be similar to your local state's attorney general, since this is from a state government in Australia. NSW has a similar population to Washington State, for example.

What I put in my mind and what I put in my body should not be regulated in the same way. I definitely want the FDA to monitor food and drugs and prevent me from getting sick.
