Food Nazi

From the "if you don't like what someone is saying call them both a Nazi and a Socialist" book: http://www.foodpolitics.com/2010/12/food-industry-fights-back-method-attack-critics/

Noting, of course, that you can't be both a Nazi and a Socialist since they are two completely opposing political philosophies.

Hey I get it. Nestle and other healthy eating proponents can potentially harm food industry profits, so the food industry wants to fight back. If people actually start to listen to people like Nestle, Pollan etc. and stop buying food that's nothing but worthless calories, they may have to find other ways to rip off the public.

But, to set up some public relations firm to essentially spew lies anonymously is just plain wrong. Man up food industry. If you don't like what Nestle has to say come up with real counter arguments. Or, if you're going to call people Nazis and Socialists at least have the guts to put your name on the slander.
