RE: Should Dietary Advice Be Considered Free Speech?
If someone gives advice that leads to injury of those who heed it, is the person liable for damages? Or is it the fault of the injured party for trusting a person giving bad advice who was simply exercising their freedom of speech?
Professional licensing is a way to limit liability by adherence to established guidelines, rules, and standards. The person seeking a license could still exercise their freedom of speech, but would not have the backing of an organization that uses licensing and accreditation to establish trust in their members.
Very harmful advice is given out freq by those "approved" sources... it isnt about safety so much as it is about limiting freedom.
Licensing is about stealing something you own and then selling it to you. It is theft. The best way to increase trustness is let people trust based on their own or others experience.
