I genuinely do not understand what this person believes is happening here. The Guardian is part of some mass-conspiracy to attack the FDA in order to...achieve what? Prevent unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals from being introduced into the food supply? What sort of mindset must you have to believe this is a bad thing?

No one benefits from PFAS being unregulated in food, other than stockholders, C-suites and the politicians who accept money from lobbyists that represent them.

You guys are legit crazy. I post a comment that you disagree with and somehow you're thinking I'm part of some astroturfing conspiracy? And then my comments get flagged?

@dang you need to do something about how easy it is to flag and silence respectful comments that hive-minded HN readers ideologically disagree with, just because agreeing with it has a dotted line to support Trump. It's truly deranging for people to think that any opinion that agrees with something the government is doing is morally wrong. It's turning HN into a hyper-political echo chamber with no ability of diversity of thought and it's only gotten more intense in the last few years.
