Big Brother Is Watching You Eat - Reason.com

 | March 22, 2014



The federal government wants to use your technology to change what you eat. In the meantime, they're surreptitiously posting your data online.


Just how far is the federal government willing to go to push Americans to make subjectively “healthy” food choices? Chillingly far, if the most recentmeeting of the federal government’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) is any indicator.
The DGAC is made up of fifteen academics, culled mainly from the fields of nutrition, public health, and medicine. The role of the DGAC, which has met every five years for more than two decades, is to come up with recommendations that can be used “to help people choose an overall healthy diet that works for them.”
The DGAC plans to issue its latest set of recommendations by the end of 2015. These recommendations have teeth, as they’ll "serve as the cornerstone for all Federal nutrition education and program activities" over the proceeding five years.
The DGAC guidelines are used by a host of federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Health (NIH), and Center for Disease Control. Many of these policies will have little or no impact on your life.
But make no mistake. The DGAC is actively dreaming up ways for the government to meddle in your diet.
