Question:
Companies that create junk food insist that they have a right to sell products, including products marketed to children. Communities insist that they have a right to protect themselves from harm, including the harm posed by skyrocketing ill-health caused by poor nutrition and the societal costs associated with that. Consider whether food distributors should be required to limit the amount of non-nutritious junk food they put on their shelves? What aspects of American cultural ideology present barriers to any or all of such proposals?
