- Title
A PALATABLE OPTION FOR SUGAR-COATED PALATES: LABELING AS THE LIBERTARIAN PATERNALISM INTERVENTION THAT AMERICAN CONSUMERS NEED.
- Authors
Miller, Nicholas G.
- Abstract
Addressing nutritional health for Americans has proven uniquely challenging in a marketplace flooded with non-nutritious food products. Compounding the issue, consumers consistently misjudge the contents of these processed foods and undervalue their pernicious effect. At the same time. consumers are wary of overly intrusive or paternalistic government interventions, such as bans and portion limits. This Article reflects on the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of previous attempts by the FDA to combat public health threats. Finally, this Article proposes a path forward, with growing political momentum, that builds on the innovative food labeling models being tested in markets around the world.
