If these things are so bad, why do people consume them?
Is everybody else but you so stupid as to be consuming these obviously 'bad' products?
Just because you think something is bad, doesn't mean it is bad. I would have no trouble selling something you think is the 'worst shit in the known universe' as long as everybody else thinks it's pretty good.
- treebeard901 11y agoYou raise an interesting point. Do people consume things they know are bad because they want to or because they are manipulated to?

- ArkyBeagle 11y agoBecause "bad" outside of context is utterly meaningless.
- devishard 11y agoPeople consume bad products because they are in bad circumstances. Maybe they are too stressed to cook and can't afford a healthier alternative, and then become addicted to the sugar content (McDonald's), maybe the company has a monopoly on something people need for work and school so people have to buy it (Comcast), or maybe human psychology makes us susceptible to certain kinds of deception (Fox News). Claiming that a product can't be bad if people consume it is incredibly naive.
