Attacks on the ‘Food Police'

So who are these “food police” we’re starting to hear so much about? The term has begun showing up in media accounts of campaigns to reform school lunch or in discussions of the food industry’s growing legion of critics in the media. It’s the “food police” who want to get soda out of the schools and who argue that fast food outlets should disclose nutritional information about what they sell. The “food police” supposedly want to take away your constitutional right to a Big Mac — or, at the very least, your right to enjoy a Big Mac with a clear conscience.


My Response:

          I understand where both parties are coming from in this article. Too much soda really can effect someone and that can cause major health issues with the school board. But their exaggeration that people wont be able to enjoy big mac's anymore to me is a bit much. No one, no matter how bad they think their systems work, they will never be able to control what people eat and dont eat. The main point about this article is just for the reader to know who the 'food police" are and what they are ''supposildy'' here to do.
