There's a gross moment or two in this, but its direct comparison of drug pushers and Big Food is right on target to me. Its paid flacks will not only disagree but feign outrage, but that's what they do. The fact is, a substantial portion of what Big Food concocts and purveys is as health-threatening as illegal drugs.
Perhaps not in intensity per gram, but for every toot of cocaine, how many tons of Froot Loops, Ho-Hos, and Big Macs are consumed in America? And Big Food has access to the airwaves, to the internet, to anything it wants. Heroin sellers have to keep hidden or go to jail.
Thanks to Shannon K. for the tip.
