Poisonous food and marketing

The food-scares with regard to high cholesterol and diabetes exist not
because of corporate or government concern about your health. They
exist to convince you to moderate or completely eliminate your intake
of certain ingredients. Note that everything that is supposed to be
bad for you is not good-tasting, but is available at your local
fast-food restaurant at a premium mark-up. These are the more
addictive ingredients, your bacon and butter and sugar and MSG. The
idea is to get you buying the stuff that you can't do without, that
you refuse to give up, at a premium price. It's like telling you that
cheap cigarettes are worse for you than expensive ones so that you
will only buy those that cost more than $10.00 a pack.

If you don't satisfy your addiction on a daily basis (from fear of
death or illness) you will likely come to see it as a "treat". A
guilty pleasure that is all the more enjoyable because it is
dangerous. This enhances the addictiveness. It becomes something the
user feels entitled to. It guarantees a constant flow of revenue from
people who are gifting themselves with your "poison". Labeling a food
as unhealthy is a marketing tactic aimed at jaded western consumers
who have replaced conventional religion with medicine. They accept
whatever is cloaked in scientific terminology as absolute truth.
