Those who participate in food fights in cafeteria settings are usually punished.
Though usually associated with juvenile settings such as schools, a notable incident in the Republic of China's Legislative Yuan saw a food fight occur at a lunch meeting in October 2004.

 "Food Fight" by Chris Mooney
But since there's no solid evidence that GM foods are dangerous, Nestle is left to argue that anti-GM groups like Greenpeace have raised safety questions "as a surrogate" because they have been cut off from discussing more sweeping concerns about the technological manipulation of nature, corporate corruption, economic inequality, and so forth.
She more or less admits that GM foods aren't dangerous according to any scientific standard of risk assessment, and on several occasions in her book lavishly praises food advocates who have staked out a very different stance from her own on biotechnology.
But what makes the food biotechnology debate so intriguing is that, unlike the issue of foodborne pathogens in meat, it's hardly a fl and white story of a greedy industry threatening public safety.

 Fake Food Fight
In the Food and Drug Administration's experience, when hucksters try to cheat Americans out of millions of dollars of genuine foods, their schemes are ultimately exposed--by a sharp-eyed consumer, a competitive industry, or FDA itself.
Known as economic adulteration of food, this practice involves using inferior, cheaper ingredients to cheat consumers and undercut the competition.
Stutsman explains that while the agency has fewer resources to monitor the sale of fraudulent food products, it is working with states and local governments and industry and responding to consumer complaints to weed out such practices.

Actually they agree with Feuerbach's dictum that man ist was er isst, man is what he eats (as in ess, ess, mein kind) while the truth is man isst was erist, man eats what he is. The economists have put the market in the place of the delicatessen.
In truth they all follow their false messiah, Freud, who was secretly in the pay of, yes, the Manischewitz people again, who out of economic motives wanted to spread the appeal of their products beyond the Jews and turned to the psychologist for help.
So Freud, for popularity's sake, interpreted the latke, the male, Maccabean food, as in its circular form symbolic of the male goal—I need not elaborate on this lascivious suggestion; and the hamantash—the joyous token of Esther's success, the female triumph—he explained by means of its angularity, its pointiness.

 Food Fight: Obesity Raises Difficult Marketing Questions - Knowledge@Wharton
Consumers say they want healthier foods, but if you look at consumer behavior, many people choose unhealthy foods over healthy ones." Indeed, a restaurant chain that recently tried to reduce the size of its portions was soundly blasted by its customers and has now decided to reinstate the original serving size.
"Fast food companies say they have healthy options on their menu and provide nutritional information about individual items, all in order to inform consumers about what is available," says Wharton marketing professor Lisa Bolton.
Wootan, whose Center came out with guidelines for responsible food marketing in January, would clearly like to see companies "use their power to create and market healthy foods that children will ask for and enjoy." All companies want to respond to consumer demand, Williams adds, "but this doesn't happen in a vacuum.
