So it's the individuals fault for eating the food shoved in their faces?

If they have easily accessible healthier options, kinda.

Is healthy food shoved into people's faces? You see giant signs on highways for healthy restaurants? Is the cheapest food healthy? Come on...

Personal responsibility absolutely plays a role here.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I know you certainly need it to.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I have it. I know when I make poor diet decisions it's on me, not anyone else.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 2 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

And if those poor diet choices weren't around what would you eat? You're almost there...

I'd eat healthier food because I'd have to.

That has absolutely nothing to do with people who have access to healthy foods choosing to eat unhealthy foods.

If I go out and buy a bottle of liquor, I can't blame liquor advertising for my choice to break my sobriety. That would be all on me.

Yeah you're right. Everyone is responsible for their choices and advertisers are just wanting their time feeding us ads that have no effect on is at all.
