The same argument proves that labor unions should be illegal too.

Grocery stores accept money from food producers for placement within the store. As far as I can see, this is precisely equivalent to payola. Nobody thinks there's a problem there.

Actually, lots of people do think that's a problem. Especially since the food producers playing for placement are usually placing unhealthy things.
