Lies, damn lies, and trade groups
www.consumerfreedom.com
I saw a commercial for the above web site on CNN this morning while I was trying to figure out who I am and why I'm not asleep.
The basic thesis of the site is that the "food cops" are trying to stifle every American's God given right to be fat and die of heart disease, thereby turning a public health issue into a personal freedom issue.
The tag line is great --Promoting Personal Responsibility and Protecting Consumer Choice. I wonder who's paying for this campaign?
The Soup Nazi makes a nice cameo on the site, weighing people and telling them that they can't eat this or that because of how much they weigh.
