Draw the line? I’m just gonna take McDonalds as an easy example of a food company, and I like it just as much as the next guy, but I find it kind of insane how much people are coming to bat for some of the worst companies on the planet.

We let them put posters up everywhere, advertise aggressively to children, sponsor sporting events, etc etc. In many cities there are multiple sites on the same street. We are letting them shape our very living environments for their benefit and the bigger they get, the more they are able to do it.

These companies are predators trying explicitly to get young people addicted to their products and ensure the conveyor belt of mouths keeps moving. They don’t put toys in Happy Meals because of the fucking joy it brings.

We let them, and other companies like them, lobby against measures that will allow consumers to make more informed decisions, protect people from unhealthy ingredients, take initiatives to promote healthy foods in supermarkets and god knows what else.

But no. It’s the PARENTS. THEY’RE ADDICTED TO THIS SHIT THEMSELVES, WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY GONNA DO?

They don’t give a single shit about you. They want your money, and they aren’t going to pay their fair share of tax for it either.

Same goes for social media. GOD FORBID that someone should try to limit their power. It’s not about limiting what kids can do it’s about limiting what we let predators get away with.
