Maybe, but that's a far different question than whether we should ban questionable choices. I'm all for labeling nutrition info. I might be onboard with "sin taxes" on junk food. I'd probably be onboard with restricting advertising on junk food. But I'm in no way in favor of banning marshmallows.
- nemo1618 10y agoI agree that ideally, a total ban wouldn't be necessary. For example, in the 1950's (in America), it wasn't illegal to get a divorce, but there was intense social pressure not to. And even if something is illegal, that doesn't necessarily prevent people from acquiring it. It's just not the path of least resistance.
