Hysteria: The Devil's Appetizer
we’re being so conned
No matter what you do, there’s an outfit out there to tell you how to do it better: “better” means their way.
The Center for Consumer Freedom is a nonprofit coalition of restaurants, food companies, and consumers working together to promote personal responsibility and protect consumer choices.
The growing cabal of “food cops,” health care enforcers, militant activists, meddling bureaucrats, and violent radicals who think they know “what’s best for you” are pushing against our basic freedoms. We’re here to push back.
...We speak up whenever activists propose curtailing consumer freedom. What makes us different from many organizations is that we aren’t afraid to take on groups that have built “good” images through slick public relations campaigns. Remember: even an ugly baby can be named “Tiffany.” Just because they claim to be “ethical” or “responsible” or “in the public interest” doesn’t mean they are. Just because they claim to be “scientific” doesn’t mean they aren’t really pushing junk science. And when they talk about throwing bricks through windows, taxing your favorite foods, or throwing the book at popular restaurants with tobacco-style lawsuits, we make sure you know about it.
According to the Director [on the raadio] these outfits come at us from three general directions: Food, Labor and Energy. When ya think about it, that pretty much covers everydam thing we do.
eg, there is an outfit that is lobbying to prevent anyone from buying food grown more than 200 miles away. There go my Chilean grapes! Nebraska children will never taste an orange! Just like 1820.
MADD [who, incidentally has a pension plan for its employees—they’re not gonna declare ‘success’ any time soon] is working to have installed as original equipment on every car a breathalyzer which will engage the starter. Every freaking time ya get in your car—breathalyzer test. Breathalyzer manufacturers are understandably behind it as well as car companies and others. Real popular idea in socialist EU.
*clicky*clicky* on over: it’s a well done site, well written, full of links to follow and dots to connect.
