As per the the FDA's own web site, "The Food and Drug Administration is the oldest comprehensive consumer protection agency in the U. S. federal government. Its origins can be traced back to the appointment of Lewis Caleb Beck in the Patent Office around 1848 to carry out chemical analyses of agricultural products, a function that the newly created Department of Agriculture inherited in 1862. Although it was not known by its present name until 1930, FDA's modern regulatory functions began with the passage of the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act, a law a quarter-century in the making that prohibited interstate commerce in adulterated and misbranded food and drugs. "

Is The Trump Administration purposely trying to Dismantle the US Government and why?
No. The Trump Administration is trying to reduce onerous and burdensome government regulations, for which the Executive Branch is responsible. There are so many regulations that one person cannot know all of them. There are even instances where one agency's rules are counter to another agency's. And then there's something called "regulatory discretion" which an agency decides whether or not to enforce a rule in any particular situation - or ever! So you have rules on the books that are never used or get pulled out to make an example of someone. Efforts to make government agencies more efficient, effective and accountable to the people is not a dismantling, but an effort to return government's involvement in our everyday lives to a sane level.
