Since most of us can't afford retirement this should make a comeback.
Or we push billionaires down a cliff and use that money to take care of the elderly.

We sure are but I'm not throwing a hissy fit at the thought of being outside.

You sound like such a baby.

The things that should be done to these executives would probably get me banned from Lemmy if I said.

Funny you say that. I was banned from Reddit for suggesting that suicidal people should take oil-ceos with them instead of wasting their death. Of course I learned my lesson and won't do that again.

I was inspired by american lawmaking.

And it's not only america that is discussing restrictions on unhealthy food.

Btw, around 100k Americans die of diabetes. While smoking (which is restricted in various ways) kills 500k Americans this is the combined number of smoke related deaths diabetes is one of many food related health conditions.

I'm too lazy to format my links right now but as you see there are references that similar measures are taken in the US and internationally.

Btw, I never claimed you have to stop shoving whatever disgusting crap you consider edible into your food hole. You're free to do whatever you want. I just suggested that you'd have to buy multiple portions instead of one so you might have the opportunity to reflect your gluttonous abuse of your own body as I do think producers are marketing their products in an unethical way.

Old is correct.

We weren't poor I just annoyed my poor mom to get me cereals because of the toys.

It can stay but I'd like to restrict the packaging size of highly processed food and food that's otherwise extremely unhealthy.
For example breakfast cereal. Wtf? How does that even exist? Why was I allowed to eat a fucking bowl of that in the morning as a child?

I don't like seeing profile pics. It takes away some of the anomity and makes me judge a comment before I read it.
