Three Concepts of Freedom ›1. Freedom as non-interference (negative freedom) ›2. Freedom as non-domination (resilient freedom) ›3. Freedom as self-rule or self-government (personal autonomy)
Individual Autonomy ›Autonomous only when you act from first order desires that you do endorse, or would endorse, under appropriate conditions of reflection
Prevention and Enablement ›Self-government requires enablement (education, information, etc.), not simply freedom from (actual or possible) interference 5
High on the ladder? ›Require the provision of small serving sizes ›Prohibit large serving sizes ›Mandate the format of food labeling ›Prohibit advertising of specific foods ›Prohibit specific techniques of sub-rational persuasion 6
