I really don't understand the position of always blaming the individual citizen and never demanding any accountability from the huge corporation. It's like corporations are considered deities in our society now.
Because we're a free capitalistic society! Corporations can make and sell whatever the customers will buy and individuals can make a free choice to purchase what they desire.
The next thing you know some city will ban fast food (and make the food police very happy) just like they have banned certain food items like foie gras, trans-fat and other food items. Government needs to step back from creating so many new regulations and allow the consumer to dictate what the market provides.
