- ci5er 10y agoSure. Who would pay $1000 for an iPhone when it could be had for $100? But nobody is forcing people to eat Big Macs instead of fresh salad. And if people want to buy Big Macs, who are we to democratically decide that this option should be off the table for them?
- pauletienney 10y ago"But nobody is forcing people to eat Big Macs " Not forcing but strongly encouraging via price + marketing + lack of education + lobbying "who are we to democratically decide that this option should be off the table for them?" We are the national community. People eating too much BigMac cost too much to the community. That's why we (should) tax junk food.
