Not the government. Not most doctors. This is why we need to protect health coaches. Action Alert! The government’s advice is completely tainted by special interest influence, politics, and a refusal to admit mistakes. This was illustrated again by last week’s report from the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA), “Dietary […]
It’s amazing how much influence ten million dollars will buy. We recently told you about Coca-Cola’s pet project, the Global Energy Balance Network (GEBN)—a nonprofit that claimed to fund research into causes of obesity, but instead promoted the idea that lack of exercise, not bad diet, is primarily responsible for the obesity epidemic. GEBN used […]
The US Food and Drug Administration has issued three more final rules (with two more to come next year) for the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). And it’s pretty good news.

Please oppose a new House bill that puts corporate profits ahead of children’s health. Action Alert! A 2002 federal program that delivers fresh fruits and vegetables to the country’s poorest schools is now at risk because of crony capitalism. Lobbyists from the frozen, fried, canned, and dried food industries are all jostling to have their […]
Not necessarily, unless you follow some simple steps. The owner of a beloved lunch spot in Alabama was recently asked by an out-of-state visitor what kind of bread she had for a sandwich. She replied, “Honey, we have four kinds: white, white, white, and white.” The visitor was probably one of those people who always […]
Help us protect the best tasting and healthiest cheese from a spurious new FDA attack. Action Alert! George W. Bush’s FDA banned the import of the finest French artisanal cheeses, which are usually made from raw milk that has been cultured with special bacteria, and then aged, which makes it even safer.
