who bought the food? if these people aren't responsible for what they literally put in their mouth what will you hold them accountable for?!

have the time to cook it because they are working 8 hours a day making barely enough money to even keep a roof over their heads. It's the Capitalists I held accountable for this.

and people bought it. they chose a place to live, chose a super market to go to, and stood in the super market, and freely chose to purchase over sugared food.

people are buying stuff without HFCS so they are trying to put Natural Sweetener as a code word for it. Yes people can make their own decisions but industry makes it difficult.
