I have confidence I could be put in any system and still flourish. I like a challenge.

Is this information as well known as the garbage food that is so heavily promoted or doesn’t advertising work? If not, you could save those companies a whole lotta cheddar by letting them know. All they have to do is put it on the interwebs-as W would say.
Ahhhh… yes… economic consequences of following the often wrong system costs more.
Wow a personal attack. More brilliance from you.

You are already in it. MMT IS used for war but not for social purposes of making people’s lives better.

Ahhhh… no…I’m claiming those things interfere w/ free choice. And you left out the affect of food science.
Only to the dietary ignorant. A group that you are currently championing.
Wouldn’t ALL information interfere with “free choice,” then?

This has to be one of the worst arguments I have ever heard.

This is exactly what you said. Your words here imply that one does not have free choice when it comes to food. That’s simply not the case. You’re trying to put food choice on the level of something out of one’s control (like skin color). The whole premise of your argument is flawed.
I know some chemical/industrial engineers who work as food scientists for large food producers. They aren’t trying to make food more addictive they are trying to make it cheaper (which uses sometimes addictive ingredients). By your definition of evil food scientist anyone who makes liquor should charged with a crime since it is highly addictive and known damaging to the liver and kidneys.
I agree with you that kind of food is objectively bad. But again, every single person can choose not to eat it.
Rice, canned veggies, and eggs are still cheap.
To me, protecting individual choice about insert x thing here is more important than curtailing some company producing crap. Each person can make up their own mind. If they lack willpower, they will have a shorter life due to poor choices and maybe they can make better decisions in their next life.
These costs would exist as shared cost in a single payer system too. The economic consequences are due to the choices of individuals having an impact on the greater community.
Not only that - you can grow food very cheap - just takes a lot of labor and work. Chickens are also very easy to tend to and cheap. Fuckers produce more eggs than we can ever eat.
I have 10 chickens at my house and a small garden to teach my children.

Lettuce/asian greens are some of the easiest plants to grow. I grow them in crap soil with terrible conditions here in florida (lettuce only in the winter). Let one plant go to seed and you have a self-sustaining system since greens are “cut and come-again plants”.
Quail is another fowl thats easy to grow.
Before the argument comes back - yes folks living in big cities typically can’t do this. They still can make a better food choice.
Chickens also help keep stuff out of landfills

Another denial of the positive selling effects of the aforementioned corporate ways of persuasion and another example of shallow thinking.
