Biography
New York University professor Ellen J. Fried, who spoke at the Public Health Advocacy Institute's 2004 conference on "Legal Approaches to the Obesity Epidemic," is a legal consultant to the food scolds at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). After attending the 2003 conference "intended to encourage and support litigation against the food industry," Fried argued in a letter to Newsday that it's "myopic" to think that each individual American "decides what goes into someone's mouth."
In 2002 Fried co-authored an anti-soda attack with NYU co-worker and former CSPI board member Marion Nestle, in which the pair argued it is necessary to "eliminate environmental factors that foster excess caloric intake."
