You Decide

Do you smell something fishy? “The center of Consumer Freedom” contributes $15,000 to a shelter in North Carolina?

Center for Consumer Freedom Exposed
and Other Opposition Groups

It runs media campaigns which oppose the efforts of scientists, doctors, health advocates, environmentalists and groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, calling them "the Nanny Culture -- the growing fraternity of food cops, health care enforcers, anti-meat activists, and meddling bureaucrats who 'know what's best for you.

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
