Oh and the buyer can’t beware if they are not told about the dangers. Put it right on the front of package on bold lettering that the ingredient has been shown to increase glucose levels 20% and has the same bad effects on cholesterol levels and THEN let the buyer choose if they want to play roulette with their lives. Let the cosumer make an informed choice.
I absolutely agree with this statement. As for the tabacco thing, I detest smoking, however if an adult wants to make that choice for themself, so be it, as long as they don't expect the government to pay for the repercussions for their choice. If everyone who claimed to take personal responsibility actually did, then we probably wouldn't be having this discussion.
I don't use most premade food products; those that I do, I've checked out to the best of my ability or I'm willing to live with what ever side effects they have.
I have been around the block enough times to know that the government's take on nutrition is lame at best. My third daughter suffers from PCOS and insulin resistance. I appreciate your passion about this; we just deal with it a bit differently.
And for the comment that companies are only interested in making money, I would agree. That's what motivates me in my business; however, to keep making money, I have to keep my customers happy. People pay for what they want; it's the savvy business who sees this and fills the void. Whether or not the business should pander to peoples' baser instincts is another discussion.
