New "Fun Police" Series Podcast by the Consumer Choice Center

Описание: In the midst of the ongoing cost of living crisis, consumers are facing another adversary that threatens their lifestyles – the so-called "fun police." These public health advocates are pushing for neo-prohibitionist policies that aim to restrict everything from alcohol and sugary drinks to nicotine use. Their methods include punitive taxation that prices low-income consumers out of the market and outright bans on certain products.

While the fun police argue that they're implementing these measures for the protection of citizens, their playbook is far from new. Temperance movements advocating for individuals to refrain from indulging in pleasures date back to the early 19th century. Although their targets have changed over time, their tactics still rely on scientifically flawed arguments and hyperbole to undermine the choices of adult consumers.

Just as in the past, today's prohibitionists have garnered significant support. They've established a network of organizations that may appear official and independent to the public, such as the "European Public Health Alliance," but actually pursue the ideological goals of wealthy donors. Moreover, they receive backing from influential international organizations like the World Health Organization.

The Consumer Choice Center is committed to shedding light on this web of neo-prohibitionist organizations, including intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and uncovering their ideological motivations. Our goal is to raise public awareness about who is pushing for the criminalization of your lifestyle choices. Informed public debate can only happen when consumers are aware of these facts.
