Relentlessly, depressingly, appallingly, big law’s attack on ‘big food’ draws ever closer. The New York Times has more. Amongst the villains mentioned in the piece are John F. Banzhaf, the thug now disgracing George Washington University law school, and one Richard M. Daynard, a busybody who presides over the presumptuously and pompously named ‘Public Health Advocacy Institute’ of Northeastern University School of Law, a bullyboy collective dedicated to reminding Americans that “as we enter the 21st century, practitioners and policymakers are being confronted with problems where individualistic modes of analysis are simply inadequate.”

When “individualistic modes of analysis” are deemed “inadequate” expect a mention of ‘the children’.

Daynard, needless to say, does not disappoint:

“If I could choose what kind of case to begin with, it would have been that, under state consumer protection acts against somebody who was continuing to market heavily to kids…”

Of course he would.
