Government tracks food buyers Just a note on the government tracking our food supply.
In the late 1980's a certain amino acid called L-tryptophan was available to the public. The product was used to combat insomnia and anxiety. You could buy it anywhere. One day some people died from taking it and the FDA pulled it off the shelves. Later, it was found to just be a bad batch from a Japanese company, but at the time there was a great concern for all users of L-tryptophan.
