NC diatetics and nutrition board threatens to shut down Paleo diet blog

Blogging About the Paleo Diet Can Get You Shut Down in North Carolina
Brian Doherty | April 23, 2012
http://reason.com/blog/2012/04/23/blogging-about-the-paleo-diet-can-get-yo

"[T]he state diatetics and nutrition board decided Cooksey’s blog — Diabetes-Warrior.net — violated state law. The nutritional advice Cooksey provides on the site amounts to “practicing nutrition,” the board’s director says, and in North Carolina that’s something you need a license to do. ....

that someone should be able to describe his experiences with it and advocate for his own good results should go without saying, though my saying that may well contradict a directive of the California Board of Going Without Saying."

Our site is administered from the Phillippines.  I think we're safe.  But yes, I'm a little embarassed by my fellow North Carolinians.

This is absolutely disgraceful. I fear this is just going to get worse. Don't imagine that we won't be targetted.

You can help out the Paleo blogger by "Liking" him in Facebook and such. There's a link to do so at the end of this video:

Maybe if we make it a "private" forum, in which you have to request membership?

Not really. If they became serious, they would have agents going undercover so as to be able to ban us for daring to promote raw meats.

It is just a matter of time. I watched the video, but can't "Like" them as I don't do Facebook. I trust members who keep abreast of this will update the rest of us.

My husband told me about how in NY they are banning big sugar drinks. All this stuff makes me want to  -v

How on earth can any one of us still think that we live in free society?
