There is a good reason for it to be in food, and a good reason for it to not be in food. As it happens, the reason for it to be in food is that it makes food taste better, and the reason for it to not be in food is because people were falsely told it was unhealthy. So the market is deciding, but as a result of fear-mongering and racism, not based on what makes for better food. That’s still the market deciding, and that’s just how the market works sometimes.
