We could stop companies spending billions shoving the heroin down people’s throats with advertising. But I guess selling them more drugs is a better solution.

You see, companies have a way of stopping that and it only costs millions. They pay off the politicians and the politicians say that companies have more freedoms than individuals.

Health is unfortunately a very poor business.

Sickness and obesity is much better business. Fitness, medical and fast food industry combined are trillions of dollars.
