The FDA<\/a> goes further, stating that “there is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular kind of food [because] comprehensive federal regulation of the food supply has been in effect at least since Congress<\/a> enacted the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906. … Thus, plaintiffs’ claim to a fundamental privacy interest in obtaining ‘foods of their own choice’ for themselves and their families is without merit.”<\/p>\n In other words, the agency has stated that because Congress has given FDA the authority to regulate food, there is no such thing as a right to acquire any given food.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the FDA says, “there is no generalized right to bodily and physical health<\/a>.”<\/p>\n “Finally, even if such a right did exist, it would not render FDA’s regulations unconstitutional because prohibiting the interstate sale and distribution of unpasteurized milk promotes ‘bodily and physical health<\/a>.'”<\/p>\n Sources for this story include: https:\/\/www.thecompletepatient.com\/j…<\/a> https:\/\/www.thecompletepatient.com\/j…<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wellnesstruthnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/ftc-physorgpiccredit.jpg\" "\\"ftc")
In a legal response, the FDA<\/a> countered that “there is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to food<\/a> of all kinds.” As evidence for this position, the agency cites “the dietary laws of biblical times.”<\/p>\n
