I'm not sure that's a reasonable comparison. If Coke and Krispy Kreme had research 50 years ago that showed the link between their products and diabetes and then funded misinformation and contradictory research for the following decades to convince people otherwise it would seem warranted to sue them?

do you honestly believe this isn't the case? where do you think low fat marketing and all of the insanely bad public health fallout came from? it's bought and paid for by the sugar industry.

having said that, no, i don't think we should sue them, what's the point of that? people like eating crap and medical care is still privatized.

Sugar manufacturers knew about this since the '60s. http://www.npr.org/2016/09/13/493801090/sugar-industry-manip...
