Your getting into should statements and are proovning you live in a land of principles not reality. I'm a libertarian for the record but don't be a hypocrit if you think weed should be illegal so should fast food. You shouldn't be able to target minors for anything it underminds the develope of a child.
No I'm not. I never said a thing about whether or not weed should be illegal. That's a strawman you just threw out. I've seen you do this before - make up generalizations to wrap up your arguments into neat little packages, regardless of truth.
First, Happy Meals don't undermine the development of children. Eating them too often does. Also, Happy Meals are offered with apples as alternatives to fries, and lowfat milk as an alternative to soda. In both cases, correct parental decisions are necessary. As for the marketing point, you would pretty much have to stop marketing on all junk food, candy, etc. Then you'd have to decide if regular products like orange juice should not be marketed, because drinking too much of that could lead to diabetes, etc...
The ideal that people should navigate an entire culture of manipulation is a bit much. Your not even acknowleding the pysch of putting people in a world were they constantly have to be at odds with everything(commericals, salesmen, economic theory etc. Your putting people in a land of stress and ignoring the cost.
So where do you draw the line? Who monitors every single marketing decision made/to be made by every single company that advertises? How is this even possible?
People need to be accountable for the decisions they make. The role of the government is not to do this for them. Unless your a complete liberal, but I don't know what you are because I assume you post with multiple accounts, probably with contrasting views.
I'm a libertarian
If you believe this, then you really don't understand the meaning of the term.
