I disagree...
There is a wide variety of food grown or manufactured in this country....all widely distributed and readily available. Junk food...health food...processed food...whole food....EVERYTHING. As a consumer, I have the right to CHOOSE....and....the OBLIGATION to monitor the contents of whatever I choose to consume. That obligation belongs to no one but ME.
Is HFCS shit? Yes....and you know what? I KNOW that it is so I CHOOSE not to consume processed foods that contain it. Are foods high in fat shit? Yes....and you know what? I CHOOSE not to eat them. Are cigarettes shit? Yes...and you know what? I KNOW that they are so I CHOOSE not to smoke them. Those are just a few examples of readily available and widely warned against products that are perfectly legal and readily available.
I guess my stance is this....I get hung up on the disavowal of personal responsibility for choices that each of us have the freedom to make.
