Scott Lively is a leader in the organic food sector who also supports the consumer advocacy group Eat American. Eat American fights for accurate food labeling regarding ingredients and place of origin on US food. In 2018, Eat American published an article by Scott Lively titled "If There Is No Truth, There Is No Nation," arguing that unscrupulous policymakers threaten the US and that food labeling should emphasize truth to help consumers make informed decisions. The article also suggests sourcing food locally or nationally to control what one eats.

2. Introduction
 A leader in the organic food sector, Scott Lively has overseen operations at
Dakota Beef since founding the Howard, South Dakota-based organization in
2001. Outside of his work with Dakota Beef, Scott Lively supports the
consumer advocate firm Eat American.
In an effort to protect consumers, Eat American fights to ensure that all US
food is sold with accurate labeling that clearly discloses both ingredients and
place of origin. The organization also curates and maintains an informative
news section on its official website.
In November of 2018, Eat American published an article titled “If There Is No
Truth, There Is No Nation,” which identified unscrupulous policy-makers as
the single biggest threat that faces the United States today. The article
contends that food labeling is the ideal place to begin when it comes to
emphasizing truth in consumer business and purchasing decisions.
Because food is the most basic human resource, consumers have the right to
eat exactly what they choose to eat. “If There Is No Truth, There Is No
Nation” suggests sourcing food locally (or at the very least nationally) as a
great way to control what one eats.
