Let’s just put a warning label on everything and be done with it. People are apparently too stupid to think for themselves. [/quote]
How can someone think for themselves when they don’t have all the pertinent information?

Eating is a biolocal imperative. Much like sex. It’s Brazzers fault that I’m a porn addict. If only they had led their MFFF videos with a warning of potential harmful effects of the product I voluntarily consumed. [/quote]
If food purveyors are trying to manipulate food ingredients to spur on food addiction to increase sales which in turn has negative side effects it ought to be disclosed.

Operative word: if[/quote]
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. [/quote]
But they are creating products that have addictive qualities. This goes far beyond taste and you know it.

What does natural selection have to do with the point of this thread?[/quote]
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. [/quote]
Harder to say no when companies are purposefully trying to addict customers which studies prove so, eh?[/quote]
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.
