The alternative could be to tax the fk out of sugar and other parts of our food chain known to cause people to go into the obesity-diabaetes pipeline. Obesity related health problems are BY FAR the most common killer in America today.

But we won't do that because it'll make some very rich people upset and it'll reduce individual liberty. We value individual liberty over a healthy population.




haha the other thread said the real culprit is the vegetable oil, not sugar. Twenty years ago it probably would have been fat. Too many things to ban!
