It's not weird if that's what you like. It makes me feel ill and triggers the gag reflex.

I wonder if my point is allowed, the fast food industries heavy investment in partial "science" and astroturfing has been very successful.

The hive view here is the rather not so nuanced sugar = bad, artificial sweeteners = great". Reminds me why I don't miss reddit. It was the same in the pro-nuclear stance which had been astroturfed to the point that "nuclear > wind and solar". Weirdly surreal and disturbing.

I get surprised when anticapitalists start doing the work of corporations.
