Corporate Watchdog Calls for Information About Threats to Food Disparagers

A corporate watchdog organization, Corporations and Health Watch, has
issued a call for food industry critics who have been threatened with litigation
for saying “anything critical about food,” to submit information about
their experience to the organization. According to the group, corporations
are using the food disparagement laws now in effect in 13 states “as leverage
to silence their critics, frequently sending threatening letter[s] to those who
speak out or those who publish [their critiques], threatening to sue under
these menacing laws.”
