As one legislator commented, if the lawsuit is frivolous, it will be thrown out of court.

But the mere fact that congress is legislating so that there is no allowable check and balance (accountability) for industry to promote food is what bothers me. It's a way of closing discussion and removing the rights of the public to complain about what industry is doing.

That's a serious erosion of the right to free speech as far as I'm concerned.
