@cyberpotato @animeirl @thatbrickster the reason I bring it up is it isn't just a merchant sitting in a store selling the best product they can, it;s a billion dollar company trying to figure out how to make you not just like the taste of doritos, but to want to stuff your face with more than you'd naturally eat. This is a problem with capitalism. Like, personally I don't think it should be abolished, but there is a place for government regulation because this is naturally something a company past a certain size is going to try to do.
@thatbrickster @cyberpotato @animeirl it's not just made to taste good, it's designed to create craving for more. I am talking about an actual bodily response that makes it want more food, not just because it tastes good. so you eat a dorito, and it spashes your tongue with flavor, but then the curve drops off immediately, causing a response on the body to want more.
@animeirl @thatbrickster I'm fond of the theory that unhealthy food is the result of price distortions coming from grain subsidies. arguably this makes it a government interference with the market issue, though the real issue is regulatory capture, which I'll concede at least partially has to do with capitalism.
