No not easily. The FDA media office is not a great example because they disseminate FDA information between the public and FDA officials, so no state would be able to take that over because…where would they get the info? But as far as states taking over the research labs - that is incredibly expensive. FDA is currently like 7 to 8 billion $ per year from the budget. I’m reading about the FDA right now though, and they do have lots of offices in many states and work with states on food safety and all that, so I guess each state could start its own small version of the fda. The waste/overlap that comes with having each state have its own little FDA would be ridiculous though
