Preferred term

food libel laws  

Definition

  • Every information campaign, whether it is promoting a commercial brand name or a new scientific discovery, relies on legitimacy. A story of a homeless person isolating the gene that causes obesity is not likely to be considered trustworthy due to a lack of credibility, while a NASA scientist contending that there has been a meeting between the President of the United States and the Martian political movement lacks plausibility.
