Stossel Gives Us a Break

Stossel Gives Us a Break

We’d like to thank consumer reporter and investigative journalist John Stossel for highlighting our work fighting food fascists on his blog this morning. Stossel will air an episode of his cable news show this Thursday on the “Attack of the Food Police.” Working out of New York City, he’s on the front lines of the assault on what we eat and drink—such as the Big Apple’s assault on salt and Empire State Gov. David Paterson’s second push for a sugared drink tax.

Stossel writes that CCF “never fails to inform with its bitingly funny ads that call out the bureaucrats and busybodies who would restrict our freedom of choice.” And that he, like millions of Americans who are in good shape, “get no health benefit from the food police’s restrictions — just less choice and food that doesn’t taste as good.”
