Expose of Richard Berman of the Center for Consumer Freedom:

“While Berman presents himself as a defender of consumers against overbearing bureaucrats and health zealots, he's really defending the interests of another group: restaurant chains, food and beverage companies, meat producers, and others who stand to see profits hampered by government regulations, or even by increased health awareness on the part of customers.”  http://www.commercialexploitation.com/news/articles/berman.htm
