Is your position really that no one should be allowed to produce products that are unhealthy? This seems incredibly invasive.

no one mentioned banning and the OP is about recognition not enforcement
We don't have to ban them, but we definitely don't have to support and laud them either. Tolerate and shame, like we do with tobacco companies, seems like a reasonable approach.

And to disclose my own biases, I'm 100% on team "Full Sugar Soda" and will definitely choose no soda over sugar free soda every time.

We already do this with a bunch of criteria/ rules for food to be sold to humans and animals.

Lobbying and advertisers have just made us think that drinking a cup of sugar is an acceptable option.
