Re: The Food and Drug Administration and its power to regulate commercial speech

The Food and Drug Administration should have the power to regulate commercial speech, especially that by the pharmaceutical, alcohol, and tobacco industries. Corporations are a legal fiction whose so-called rights should always be subordinate to those of actual human beings. 

The FDA should act to expand the rights of people, not of corporations. Every time that corporate rights expand, people's rights decline, because of the huge imbalance in money available to corporations versus people. These corporations are not interested in educating consumer, they only want to convince people to buy their products.

Thank you.
