Fda And The Rise Of The Empowered Consumer, Lewis Grossman
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This Article traces the still-evolving view of consumers of FDA-regulated products as capable, rational, and rights-bearing decision makers. It also examines the corresponding diminution of FDA’s role as a paternalistic gatekeeper collaborating with medical and scientific experts to prevent products and manufacturer-provided information from reaching the public. Compared with their 1960s counterparts, today’s consumers of food and drugs have far greater freedom to make unmediated choices among a wider variety of products, guided by a relative deluge of labeling and advertising information. Moreover, food and drug regulation, once the exclusive domain of bureaucrats and experts, has become a focus of …

A growing number of state, territorial and local health departments are currently exploring new ways to promote healthy eating and physical activity. At the federal level, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has made "nutrition, physical activity and obesity" a top priority.

Who’S Your Nanny, Lindsay Wiley
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: In June 2012, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced his plans for a ban on the sale of sugary beverages in containers larger than 16 ounces. Shortly thereafter, the Center for Consumer Freedom took out a full-page ad in the New York Times featuring Bloomberg photo-shopped into a matronly dress with the tag line "New Yorkers need a Mayor, not a Nanny."1 On television, the CATO Institute's Michael Cannon declared, "This is the most ridiculous sort of nanny state-ism; [ilt's none of the mayor's business how much soda people are drinking." And in news- papers around the country, …
