Quote of the Week 5/14/09
Quote of the Week We’d like to offer a “hear, hear!” to Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi for seeing through the anti-soda agenda of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). Harsanyi recognizes CSPI’s “sin tax” proposal for what it is: social engineering to punish people who have the gall to order a soda with their meal. In his weekly column, he writes: Soda can be harmful, it can be harmless and it is always tasty with...

Diet Patrol With Side Orders of Tax and Scare 5/11/09
Diet Patrol With Side Orders of Tax and Scare This week the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) is embarking on a major effort to assert its position as the world champion of food policing. CSPI leader Michael Jacobson will present an ambitious wish list to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee tomorrow. (Its list of demands has just been made available online.) In less than 24 hours, CSPI will ask Congress to forcibly remove half the salt from all packaged and restaurant foods. It’s a...

The FDA Loves Stevia. Guess Who's Panicking? 12/22/08
The FDA Loves Stevia. Guess Who's Panicking? Last week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of stevia, a calorie-free sweetener derived from herbs. Studies have shown that stevia has no negative health impacts, and is useful for people with Type 2 diabetes because it doesn’t affect blood sugar or blood pressure. The regulatory green light is big news for consumers, who can soon expect to see stevia packets at restaurants next to the Sweet’N Low and Splenda. But as...

The NFL Goes Long To Preserve Phys Ed 11/11/08
The NFL Goes Long To Preserve Phys Ed The NFL Network announced a new initiative this week to improve and maintain physical education programs at schools across the nation. Not to mix sports metaphors, but it’s about time someone stepped up to the plate with a children's health project that might actually accomplish something. We’ve been saying for years that kids aren’t getting enough exercise, and we couldn’t be more pleased to see pro football doing something to get them excited about sports. The Keep Gym In...

Food Cops' Favorite Holiday 10/30/08
Food Cops' Favorite Holiday You wouldn’t think it’s true, but Halloween is a nutrition activist’s favorite holiday. A food cop in the midst of Trick-or-Treaters is a mosquito in a nudist colony. He has countless opportunities to engage in his favorite activities: yelling, complaining, and warning us about invisible monsters in our candy buckets. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), for example, released a Halloween-themed statement, whining that unlike their British counterparts, American food companies still...

CSPI's Acrylamide Scare
Learn about the willful manipulations and junk science calculations that CSPI used in its petition to the FDA over acrylamide in food. The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) submitted a reply brief to the FDA, detailing how CSPI arbitrarily “adjusted” government statistics and made faulty assumptions about the minimal risk to consumers from dietary acrylamide.

The Truth About CSPI
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and its founder, Michael F. Jacobson, are not as nice, sweet, and unbiased as CSPI's name might imply. The group routinely uses scare tactics justified by "junk science" and media theatrics as part of their ceaseless campaign for government regulation of your personal food choices.

Jacobson once said: "CSPI is proud of finding something wrong with practically everything." As you can see from this site, they have.

A Humorous Look At Labels
The food police at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) have a thing for labels. CSPI's zealots never met a food label they didn't like -- until now. Food cop, label thyself.
