And when consumed in moderation, has no adverse affect. Poor diet is you, not a company.

Nestle is simply going where the money is. If you need diabetes pills because of your poor decisions though, that is your fault.

You're right that responsibility ultimately lies in the individual, but people aren't silos. If advertising didn't work, people wouldn't do it. Some responsibility must be given to those who try to convince others to do unhealthy things.
