Food isn’t regulated any more or less than vitamins. Truth in labeling applies and that’s about it. You can buy as much as you want as often as you want. Regulated drugs, however, are actually regulated based on a doctor’s written prescription.
The reason for this is the same reason over-the-counter drugs aren’t regulated, except for the small handful that can be used to make meth. The potential risks are a lot lower. You can still abuse food, vitamins, and over-the-counter drugs, it’s just not as easy. This country does still have some lingering examples of personal responsibility and liberty.
