Food should be rationed on a nutritional basis, full stop. Attempting to advertise your food on any other basis should be a criminal offense. We as a society need to draw a bright moral line to stop this type of behavior.

I mean, everyone needs food. It's life and death. Clearly more important even than psychiatric drugs.

This is a false paralellism. There is no equivalent to 'taste' in terms of medication. Sure, you may urge your doctor to switch from one medication to another because it works better for you or has more acceptable side effects. But that's very clearly a clinical decision.

In any case, shilling with free ice cream or a giant house of cards does not communicate this information.
