Default 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!
