Yeah sure, lets allow companies to make highly attractive poison, advertise it using whatever tricks they can think up short of pornography, allow supermarkets to place this shit wherever they think people are most vulnerable and at eye level, allow sales and promotions promoting consumption.

Who could forsee that people would overindulge? What could be the solution? SIN TAXES

farque awffff. Can you imagine if we let companies poor waste into a river and taxed you if you swam in it? Fucking deranged proposal. This stupid political system that can't see a government as anything except a way of distributing financial penalties has absolutely cooked us.

Look I am a straight up commie, my pipe dream is humans working together with mutual consideration in mind (an idea that makes you nearly unspeakably radical lmao). Do you know how fucking elated I would be if we could just like ban advertising on "junk food" and idk have it be plain packaged?

Chips are nice, I like chips, I just don't think companies should be free to try hijack our biological drives to maximise destructive pleasure habits.

We can have a little vice, as a treat.
