I think it's because ones a drug prescribed for a medical condition. So you may have a condition where your doctor says "stay away from cured meats" but might prescribe you a drug that unwittingly has what they're looking to avoid. And just in general drugs give you a lot of control: there should only be what you know and want in there. Foods a big ol mess of compounds. My heart meds get recalled all the time for less acrylamide than I'd get in a flame grilled burger.
