IMO the ones that develop Coca-Cola don't have anything to do with your health. It's all your fault if you decide whether to buy it and drink it or not. It's a matter of choice. I don't drink Coca-Cola because I never really liked it so.
That may be a reasonable argument, but...
If a giant corporation that wanted to make their
peanut butter products tastier started mixing
dog shit into them and renamed the ingredient to hidro-mega-silicium.
And afterwards people would get salmonella as a consequence. Would you still blame it on the consumer? I don't think so.
Yes. Consumers should be aware about the products they consume, but at what point does the government come in?
