- Salt: Just Don’t Overdo It!
If you listen to the food scolds at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), adding some salt to your food is essentially mainlining cocaine. Michael Jacobson, the group’s president, has called salt the “deadly white powder you already snort” and has long campaigned against it (as has NYC Mayor Bloomberg). Food scolds demanded that the national health authorities reduce the sodium allowance (salt is, of course, sodium chloride) by one-third, and a committee of the never-unhappy-to-scold Institute of Medicine (the authors of...

One of the less-remarked upon provisions of the national healthcare law passed in 2010 was a standardized calorie reporting requirement for restaurant menus in chains with more than 20 stores. We noted at the time that while it might fill a consumer desire to disclose calories, the mandate wouldn’t meaningfully reduce obesity rates. Supporters, however, pushed the fat-fighting narrative even as they admitted that evidence indicated that we were right. We asked at the time:
So we have to ask: What if it doesn’t work? To... Posted 05/15/13 - Morning “Food Addiction” Freakouts, Brought to You by Starbucks
When the New York City soda ban was announced, among its most fervent partisans was MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski. She notably threw a fit when Judge Milton Tingling struck it down. This week, we found out why.
Chasing this year’s well of food-related publishing cash, namely screaming from some New York park bench that food is being made “addictive,” she’s written a book titled Obsessed blaming the food industry for life’s problems. Echoing a political attack ad, she insinuates that food companies are waging war on... Posted 05/10/13 - Scolds Demand Federal Slush Fund for Food Fights
In today’s POLITICO (the daily newspaper for the professional political set) Marion Nestle and two fellow “preventive medicine” — the P.R.-approved name for food police — researchers expressed outrage that a Congressman would dare to suggest restricting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) propaganda slush fund. They claim that forbidding the CDC from “educating” the public about the horrors supposedly caused by foods and beverages would be horrible.
They neglect to acknowledge the Congressman’s more important points: Not all the grants went for true... Posted 05/03/13

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.
