Title: NC diatetics and nutrition board threatens to shut down Paleo diet blog

"[T]he state diatetics and nutrition board decided Cooksey’s blog — Diabetes-Warrior.net — violated state law. The nutritional advice Cooksey provides on the site amounts to “practicing nutrition,” the board’s director says, and in North Carolina that’s something you need a license to do. ....

that someone should be able to describe his experiences with it and advocate for his own good results should go without saying, though my saying that may well contradict a directive of the California Board of Going Without Saying."

Not really. If they became serious, they would have agents going undercover so as to be able to ban us for daring to promote raw meats.
