policy is forced on you, advertisements make suggestions. one is communism, the other is free market. if you value individual freedom, you should care about these things.

Wheres the policy saying you cant drink, cant eat bread, cant eat meat, cant smoke?

A study being published saying "this this isn't great for you" is not at all remotely communism.

look at something like cigarettes and notice how policy tends to translate into "ban" over enough time
