Well yes obviously that is difficult to do. Our society (American society, that is) is about “me” and convenience.

Nobody seems to want to say what is obvious to me: ban junk food. Sugary white bread, Cheez Its, Oreos, candy, ice cream, highly processed frozen burritos, frozen pizza, Little Debbie’s, potato chips , all of it.

It is crazy to me the C levels of poison food companies do not rot in jail for the rest of their lives for knowingly selling poison and lying about it. It is crazy to me how a group of people can conspire to harm the citizens of a nation in the name of profit and not receive any consequences. It’s crazy to me the governments of that nation actually enjoy it and don’t care.
