I didn't miss anything.

1) Who said their science is fake, and what science anyway? They inform the masses of the sugar content as required. Should marketing be a crime? Or science you disagree with?

2) Who decides what is marketing and manipulation and what is just speech? I trust people who want to liberate the "masses" from "manipulation" (and such) far, far less than the most selfish psychopaths. Let the masses decide for themselves.

3) Oh, and if manipulation of masses by cheap marketing was a crime, we'd need to start with abolishing the governments.

4) And while we are at it, this NGO propaganda from guardian would be more of a crime than selling sugar!

5) I do think governments should have extremely high threshold for banning things, but "by your logic" doesn't follow. What the company is doing is completely legal, the governments didn't ban anything in this case. Some despicable activists think they know better than the governments of those other countries and the people buying stuff, and that stupid EU rules should apply worldwide. I frankly think we should ban the use of oxygen by these activists, it's highly combustible and very dangerous. It's for their own good, that they just don't see.
