&gt;I think it&#x27;s kinda bullshit that there seems to be no limit on the information that the government, Facebook et. al. can gather on me, but somehow I can&#x27;t be trusted with information about my own genetic code unless it&#x27;s been vetted by the FDA.<p>All the FDA did was prevent them from making unsubstantiated medical claims from the results of their test, in the same way that they would for, say, a new pharmaceutical. 23&amp;Me could always go and perform the necessary clinical trials and submit the evidence to prove their results to the FDA. FDA is doing what the FDA was designed to do. What&#x27;s the problem?<p>&gt;Yet supplements and diet pills can make all kinds of bogus claims with impunity.<p>That&#x27;s because the supplement lobby launched a huge political campaign and got congress to change the law barring the FDA from investigating supplements, after the FDA tried to regulate them.
