RE: Deceptive Food Labelling

in #language7 years ago

Hey Greg, I'm glad to be back, and glad to see you're still following.

I don't know the source of this quote and I'm probably paraphrasing it so badly that it's unsearchable, but it goes something like this: "the battle for the souls of men will be the battle for the meaning of words."

I don't think bad food labelling is the most nefarious example, but it's definitely true that language and hijacking language is used to manipulate. Freeing people from bad definititions is often the first step toward freeing their minds.
