While I do not support eating unhealthy foods like that on a regular basis at all (I have some sort of instinctive repulsion towards that), I do support allowing adults to have the freedom to make their own choices regarding what they eat.

By and large, American grocers don’t sell food like that, so we don’t really have the choice.

In the U.S. no one is going to force you to buy anything, but no one will save you when your market disappears.

It’s a kind of freedom, but it’s not “more choice”. It’s often less choice.
