Should Dietary Advice Be Considered Free Speech?
Current occupational licensing restrictions mean that people can and have been subjected to violence for their actions of giving dietary advice to others, if they didn't have the proper permission to do so.
One health coach from California is currently suing over those restrictions because she was prevented from doing her work in Florida after a complaint was made that she didn't have the right license.
This has happened to too many people who've wanted to serve others in the market, whether providing dietary advice or wanting to make them burgers, they've continually been restricted by the various rigid edicts that have been passed by the state. Luckily, a growing number of those seeming violations to natural rights have been challenged though and in some circumstances liberty has prevailed.
Are people not even free to choose where they get their health advice from?
This case is highlighting the extensive confusion surrounding this line of work and how difficult it is for individuals to move their business to another state if they need to. Some might not even know they are doing anything wrong and various people have been contacted by authorities in the past and told to stop posting their health advice online and discussing personal health issues with people unless they have the right permit to do so.
Let the customer themselves decide if they are receiving quality service, rather than allowing the state to decide for them with rigid barriers that keep great service out of the market; the restrictions help to keep prices high and quality low. It isn't about safety.

There is a big problem here.
The argument seems to be, should the govern-cement protect the people from bad dietary advice?
If so, the people who created the food pyramid and shoved it through all the schools should be round up and SHOT!
We too bad advice, that was created to emphasize the grain industry, and passed it off as "what is good for you" by the ultimate authority.
So, since there has been no public executions, then that argument is null and void.
Thus, the question is, does the govern-cement have the right to take rights and sell them as liberties?
No. That's imposing their way of doing things. And buying votes.

I think that all a speech is free. The government wants supreme control over our body and mind and would have outlawed all holistic medicine if they could get away with it. They are losing their grip because they squeezed too tight.

No. Free speech should be about opinions from the won person, not on what other people should or shouldn't do.
For example:
Veganism is not the same as being on diet, yes, I know.
Hopefully the court disagrees but it isnt like them to favor liberty 🤣
@doitvoluntarily I think that the oranismos of control or the state must make sure that the person who provides a service, has the corresponding qualification to give security to the people who receive the service, I believe that until there the state should arrive, the people should be those who make the decisions with whom you want to be assisted
Thank you very much dear friend for sharing this news
I wish you a wonderful weekend
you would prefer that the government use coercion against peaceful people? ...
because that's what those restrictions are
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.
