Asking for sacrifice from others is often hard, simple, and ineffective.

As America approaches 50% obesity

Sure. Let me count the ways you've inconvenienced me.
A better approach would be to provide a viable alternative to change the underlying systems that put us in this state. That's never simple though.

You will never, ever get a critical mass until your freedom-based burger tastes better than a real Google burger. It's not "not easy". It's Impossible

It's like they didn't hear you say "the solution isn't easy", and so they had to say what you already said, and probably feel like they are saying something smart and worth hearing as they do.

Now, you know these things aren't going to happen, not in any quantity to make the slightest difference.
So why even suggest it?
Strong regulation is the only solution. The Magic Invisible Hand just is not working.
The solution isn't easy, but it's simple: stop using Amazon (specially AWS), Google (specially AdSense), etc. Once they lose half their annual revenue, they'll start taking things seriously.
