HughHewit.com: See radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt’s blog post called ““We’re From The Government and We’re Here To Tell You How You May Advertise Your Products.”
My WashingtonExaminer.com column today [called "Captain Crunch is an enemy of the state"] picks up where my Townhall.com column last week left off –pointing to the “guidance” from the Food and Drug Administration issued last week that warned all food manufacturers in America that big brother was watching their “front of package” branding and was ready to pursue penalties against any packaging claims that the FDA found not only false or misleading but also lacking in nutritional soundness. Some of America’s biggest names in the food business took quick note of the threat and suspended one campaign designed to brand their products as a “Smart Choice” for consumers. Just like that, millions of dollars of marketing effort went poof.
