Are you seriously complaining that some academics are advising you about the health consequences of some habits, while you constantly are bombarded by commercials and other media trying to influence what you eat and drink?

policy is forced on you, advertisements make suggestions. one is communism, the other is free market. if you value individual freedom, you should care about these things.

[Ma8ee]

Uh, what exactly is forced upon you in this case?

[esskay]

Wheres the policy saying you cant drink, cant eat bread, cant eat meat, cant smoke?

A study being published saying "this this isn't great for you" is not at all remotely communism.

[waihtis]

look at something like cigarettes and notice how policy tends to translate into "ban" over enough time

«Forcing a policy» is not communism.
