I agree we have been marketed to death–literally.

How do we “blame the victim” who is unaware of the error–in fact, is so awash in the message of “benevolence” that they cannot think, cannot even entertain the thought that things are malignant?

And know we’re calling the ability to guzzle soda a choice. Okay, I guess it is a choice to saturate yourself with sugar, but this is ridiculous. This is just another facet of American life that makes me disgusted with most Americans. But alas, the sugarless freak stands alone…
