This is why you’ve ignored my lawsuit question then?

I’m done. I can’t take you seriously.

Not one single time in my adult life have I eaten anything because of force or the threat of force. Neither has any other free person.

Dude, you are out of your mind. I walked past the cookie isle yesterday at the store and didn’t buy anything nor did I have the impulse to. I’ll pass by a KFC on my way home from work, guess what, I won’t stop nor will I be forced to buy their food EVER.

A crack head does not pass up crack. Even the Cookie Monster eats cookies in moderation…

Edit:

I even quoted the question…

Are you saying that usmc’s “What planet do you live on?” is not the question at hand? He already answered the question you asked about free choice, addictive qualities, etc.[/quote]

lol, thank you.

What do the conclusions of the studies indicate? And do corporations spend millions of dollars to not come up with effective results? Why would a corporation spend money to mix the ingredients in a particular ratio?

First of all, you used the word “if.”

Secondly, to answer your question, to make their products taste as good as possible in order to gain repeat customers. That is not the same things as creating products that are addictive.

Again, Econ 101.

He doesn’t really believe that the mixture of ingredients have no effect but has to say those things so he doesn’t have to re-examine his position and thusly his desiccated ideology.

In addition he has shown no evidence that the addictive properties of the ratio of ingredients don’t have addictive qualities except to say they don’t.

Plus he keeps bringing up the argument that the ingredients are already listed, which is not the point. So he is either really stupid and doesn’t comprehend English or he is just trying to keep his ideology alive by bringing in straw man arguments because he has no real argument against the original point.

Come on man, you know Brazzers isn’t the real culprit. Pornhub is where the danger is at. Can you imagine if they were just giving away the Big Macs?

Doesn’t matter if there are additives to food to make them more addictive similar to cigarettes. Although I question whether or not it is an actual chemical addiction or more of a mental one, like porn. Fat kid eat cake, cake make fat kid happy, fat kid eat more cake. IF someone lacks the will power to not eat themselves to death, and also lacks the will power to work those calories off if they do indulge frequently, then they are part of the species that is weak of both mind and body. The strongest survive and thrive, natural selection at its purest.

No, being addicted to something is a sign of weakness. If you cant put down something that is obviously bad for you, even if it is very to extremely addictive like crack or cigarettes then that is just undesirable human traits being weeded out. If you eat yourself to death, even if they were putting nicotine in the burgers and you didn’t know it, still all on you and your lack of self control.

Please specifically define what a food addiction is.

Then please tell me why someone can sue for being addicted to Granola Bars, but the same isn’t allowed for someone addicted to say, beer or wine?

Look at what happened with tobacco. Shyster lawyers made billions suing big tobacco, the government taxed the crap out of it and as smoking rates go down the consumers of tobacco are getting squeezed out of the market with exorbitant taxes and bombardment with anti-smoking propaganda. Is that what you want to start doing with food? Choke off our food supply? Is that where you’re going with this?

You’re thinking along the same lines as I am, I just wanted him to walk through the steps on his own. Not that he would even understand the words that came out of his mouth, because once he hears “government” he’s done thinking, but it was worth a shot.

The fact is, those lawsuits would be tied to obesity, and then suddenly all those heffers on tumbldr talking about “thin privilege” would magically understand it isn’t healthy to be fat enough where you need two airline tickets and sue the shit out of EVERYONE!
