I read somewhere that "it's not your fault, but it's your problem."
Look, I'll not deny that we all have a personal responsibility to deal with this. But just because we make our own choices doesn't mean that we have to stand for the way we're treated by those pushing products, not food, on us. Food execs know that they are intentionally creating addictions.
You're a grownup now, but when do you think that your eating habits were set? Have you watched kid food advertising lately? What they market towards children? It's no different than cigarette advertising aimed at the kiddie set.
