Has anyone noticed the lack of Chemical ads in the ABJ And Bee Culture? any thoughts?

If a person can successfully sue McDonalds for having too hot of coffee, imagine the lawsuits from having detectable levels of FGMO, or other less natural chemicals. If they ran an ad for a chemical it would have to first be approved for the use advertised. (approved by government agencies). To get this approval for any chemical is very costly in time & money. Why would any company try to get approval to sell FGMO or Oxalic acid when there would be no upside to a very costly process. Once they did get approval, then the liability concerns are only beginning. Much better for them to sell a 55 gallon drum of chemical to an unknown purchaser than to seek specific approval of their product as an acaracide or other.

It's a recession, most everybody already knows about the chemicals, and they are saving advertising dollars ?
