The ad stated that two hotdogs of Hungry Hogs contained 30 grams of fat, whereas, one burger of Gobble Up Inc. contained 52 grams. This ad led to a good consumer response. However, an anti-restaurant political group filed a complaint with a federal institution. The federal institution issued an order prohibiting Hungry Hogs from making health-compatibility statements about its products without scientific evidence. This instance of regulation on advertising of health-compatibility statements about food products is an example of a limitation on _____.
