Public health surveillance?
Welcome to 1984
Public health surveillance is why you and I know that Entrovirus 68 is spreading in the US and that an outbreak of ebola is threatening Africa. It involves keeping track of the spread of infectious diseases. It is one of the most important measures we have for containing outbreaks. It is not what George Orwell had in mind, it is an established medical term.
It's a euphemism for making sure the government knows what you're eating, even when you don't (Google: Monsanto Protection Act)
