>The first amendment shouldn't really apply to corporations.

Should the feds be able to shut down Hackernews? It's a corporation. NY Times? It's a corporation.

The distinction you want to make is commercial speech should be able to be regulated. And it is. False advertising is illegal but lying about politics is a first amendment right.

Also, sugar isn't harmful in moderation.

Plus the science of diet is hilariously poorly understood. 15 years ago people would have been trying to ban fatty food. Now all the sudden fat is good?

And that goes triple for popular diet advice. It's all fads. We still can't figure out a diet that works for whole population long term.
