Greetings! This is a brand new blog that will focus on food and nutrition law and policy. There is no real need for this blog -- all of the topics that interest me are well-blogged elsewhere.
But it is useful for me to have a place to post news, fun, thoughts, and other food law related material. So this blog is for me. I welcome readers, but folks, don't take it personally. . . I'm just not doing this for you. (At least not at this point.)
Topics that interest me: food policy, nutrition policy, any legal issues involving food starting from development of patent-protected seeds all the way through to attempts to tax sugar beverages to control obesity. Along the way there are intellectual property issues, environmental law issues, agricultural policy issues, administrative law issues related to ingredients, labels, and food safety, organic certification, school lunches, tort liability for food poisoning, the same for poor health outcomes.
I have an interest in nutrition in particular, but also kind of have a fetish for food labels and what can go on them.
This is not a blog about food itself. I don't care about recipes. If you are a pr person for someone who has created the next perfect dietary supplement or cocktail mix, please go stuff yourself with apple fritters and fruitcake. I am NOT interested in talking to you. I will NOT post your public service announcement. I will NOT link to your client's website.
But if you see an interesting label, I'd love to know about it.
Donna
