Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely
http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.p...e-competition/ "Okay, you get the idea. I’d suggest you read the rest of the Forbes article to get the full sense of what’s going on. The ADA clearly wants to limit competition, but they’re smart enough to pitch the scheme to legislators as a means of protecting the public, even though nobody in the public is asking to be protected from unlicensed nutrition advisers. "So who should protect the public when it comes to nutrition advice? Here’s a wacky idea: let the public protect themselves. Even without licensing laws, consumers have a habit of rewarding providers who do good work. One of the subcontractors who did renovation work on our house wasn’t licensed. But he was clearly more competent than the licensed subcontractor he replaced, so we brought him back for a number of jobs. "If people like Steve Cooksey, Mark Sisson, Jimmy Moore, Robb Wolf, Sean Croxton or Yours Truly give nutrition and health advice that works, we’ll draw loyal fans, customers, clients … whatever you want to call the people who reward our efforts. If we give advice that doesn’t work, people looking to improve their health will go elsewhere. That’s how it works in a world of wide-open competition. "And that’s what scares the hell out of the American Dietetic Association." Hear, hear! -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
