Same goes for sugar. We know the dangers it poses, we are also seeing how much it increases risk of death due to covid.

I don't think we should be surpsied, as much as pushing to regulate this garbage.

As an aside, Michelle Obama's campaign when Obama was in office was about improvement children's health. Her focus was going to be on nutrition (lunch food). Shortly thereafter Coke and Pepsi came in with "donations" and the whole thing became about exercise, no focus on nutrition.

There should be no surprise that capital takes precedent over health in our current system / culture.

Arguably, we should care more about sugar than we do about covid.
